Evaluating the Usability of the AKUDia Mobile App for Blood Sugar Monitoring: A Feasibility Study
No full textA variety of ultra-invasive portable blood sugar test kits have been available on the market; these kits require drawing blood from capillaries, which can still be painful and uncomfortable and even enhance the risk of infection. To develop a non-invasive blood sugar meter that is painless and comfortable to use, innovation is required. AKUDia, a mobile application for monitoring blood sugar, was developed as a smart wearable device to help older adults with diabetes stay healthy. This study aimed to measure the usability of the AKUDia application using a usage questionnaire. In terms of a feasibility study, this was quantitative. USE Questionnaire contains a list of questions encompassing 30 questions divided into four dimensions: Usefulness, Ease to use, Ease of learning, and Satisfaction. 50 respondents were recruited for this study, meeting the inclusion criteria of DM patients who had completed a week-long training program on using the AKUDia application. Samples were selected by simple random sampling, and descriptive and univariate data analyses were performed. The AKUDia feasibility test results demonstrated a usability value of 83%, which was classified as very feasible; an ease of use value of 74 percent, which was classified as feasible; an ease of learning value of 83%, which was classified as very feasible; and a satisfaction aspect of 71% at the feasible level. The average usability value of the four categories (usability, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction), which was obtained at 78 percent, indicates that the AKUDia application\u27s usability is at a practicable level. The usability of the AKUDia application is feasible. Governments should support the use and implementation of this innovation in addition to healthcare professionals like doctors and nurses. Information technology systems have the potential to serve as an instrument for illness prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation in addition to promoting health. Future studies should be enhanced to investigate, through experimental research, how the AKUDia application supports nursing care and health management for individuals with diabetes mellitus and the general population
Effectiveness of Aloe Vera-Based Topical Therapy Products on Breastfeeding Mothers with Milk Scratches in Hamparan Perak Village
No full textIn Indonesia, a study revealed that approximately 86.4% of breastfeeding mothers encounter nipple issues such as blisters, dryness, and pain. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that chafed nipples contribute to substantial pain, discomfort, and diminished milk production among nursing mothers, thereby posing a hindrance to exclusive breastfeeding initiatives. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an aloe vera-based topical therapy product in reducing nipple chafing in breastfeeding mothers in Hamparan Perak District. Conducted as an experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design, the research transpired in Hamparan Perak village. The study enlisted breastfeeding mothers experiencing sore nipples, with 20 individuals in the intervention group receiving aloe vera-based topical therapy in gel form, and 20 individuals in the control group receiving a placebo. The assessment of effectiveness centered on measuring blister occurrence and nipple pain scores both before and after the intervention, employing the Mann-Whitney test for data analysis. Bivariate analysis utilizing the Mann-Whitney U-test yielded a significant P-value of 0.001. Consequently, it can be inferred that aloe vera gel demonstrably influences nipple pain, with aloe vera gel proving to be 5,537 times more effective in pain reduction.
