Description
Introduction: Diabetes is declared as a comorbidity for COVID-19 infection.
It has high susceptibility due to chronic hyperglycemia that would impact
the immune dysfunction among its survivors. Proper health education has
been widely reported as an effective method to improve knowledge about
diabetes management. Further, media in the form of video may offer an
effective way to deliver this information. Thus, this study aimed to
investigate the effect of an Educational Video in Preventing COVID-19
Infection (EPIC-19) on self-care practices among diabetes mellitus patients
during the pandemic.
Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-
group pretest-posttest design. All diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic
ulcers in the area of East Denpasar District, Denpasar City, were included
as the study population. A total of 36 eligible participants were finally
selected using a consecutive sampling technique. This study enrolled a
modified version of a Summary Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA)
questionnaire. Several statements in the questionnaire were adjusted to
measure the self-care practices in preventing COVID-19 infection. The data
analysis then conducted using the Wilcoxon Test with an alpha of 0.05.
Results: Findings revealed a significant effect of the EPIC-19 on self-care
practices in preventing COVID-19 infection, with a p-value of 0.0001 (p
<0.05).
Conclusion: Video is extensively offered as a medium to disseminate health
information during the pandemic. In addition to its attractive form, video
enables patients to grasp health information easier.
