Abstract

Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia or high blood sugar caused by impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. The increasing number of diabetes mellitus can be caused by a lack of knowledge about the disease. Changes in knowledge can be done by providing education through print media or application media.

This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design. The research sample was 40 respondents with an age range of 15-18 years with 2 intervention groups receiving education through leaflets and websites. The results of the Wilcoxon test on leaflet media get a p value of 0.001 which provides education that has an effect on increasing knowledge of diabetes mellitus in adolescents. Then on the media site, the results of the paired t test obtained a p value of 0.000 which provides education with a significant effect on increasing knowledge of diabetes mellitus in adolescents. The conclusion of this research is that leaflet and website media have a significant influence on increasing knowledge of diabetes mellitus in adolescents.
