Abstract

Berdasarkan observasi kegiatan Program pengelolaan penyakit kronis (Prolanis) di Puskesmas Singaparna diketahui terdapat banyak pasien dengan rawat jalan dengan diagnosis diabetes mellitus dengan komplikasi pada pasien tersebut. Menurut Koordinator kader Pobindu Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) menyatakan bahwa pelatihan tentang screening diabetes mellitus belum pernah dilakukan sehingga belum menunjang dalam kegiatan Posbindu PTM dalam pencarian kasus diabetes mellitus. Pengabdian kepada masyarakat bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader Posbindu PTM dalam melakukan screening Diabetes Mellitus (DM) sebagai upaya pencegahan deteksi dini. Kegiatan pengabdian berupa pelatihan melakukan screening dengan metode demonstrasi secara langsung. Kader Posbindu mendapatkan materi tentang cara melakukan tes kadar gula darah untuk menentukan status DM. Pelatihan diikuti oleh 16 kader Posbindu PTM di Desa Cikunir pada tanggal 12 September 2019. Rangkaian kegiatan diawali dengan pre-test, pelatihan screening diabetes mellitus, dan ditutup dengan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kader posbindu PTM dalam melakukan screening diabetes mellitus. Nilai rata-rata pre-test sebesar 60,0 dan meningkat menjadi 88,0 saat post-test. Pelatihan merupakan kegiatan yang penting sebagai upaya dalam five level of prevention PTM yang diantaranya berupa early diagnosis diabetes mellitus. Kegiatan diharapkan berdampak pada penurunan prevalensi DM dan pencegahan komplikasi DM karena secara dini masyarakat mengetahui status kesehatannya dengan screening DM.

Based on observations of Prolanis activities at the Singaparna Health Center, it is known that there are many patients with outpatient care with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus with complications in these patients. According to the Coordinator of Non-Communicable Diseases Pobindu cadres, he stated that training on diabetes mellitus screening had never been carried out, so it did not support PTM Posbindu activities in searching for cases of diabetes mellitus. This current community service purpose was to increase the knowledge and skills of Posbindu PTM cadres in screening DM to help prevent the disease. The method used in this community service was a demonstration to perform the DM screening. The Posbindu cadres were given training on how to measure blood sugar levels. This training was attended by 16 Posbindu PTM cadres from Cikunir Village on 12th September 2019. The training was conducted following this stage; the pre-test, the diabetes mellitus screening demonstration and the post-test. The training increased the knowledge and skills of the cadres in performing diabetes mellitus screening. This can be seen from the average score of the post-test (88.0), which is higher than the pre-test (60.0). This community service indicates the importance of the training as part of the non-communicable disease (NCD) five levels of prevention to reduce DM incidence. It is hoped that DM complications could also be resolved as people take care of their health by screening DM.
