DEVELOPMENT OF A DIABETES MELLITUS CARE MODEL THROUGH AN APPLICATION-BASED HOME CARE METHOD TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE
Abstract
Background - Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by the body's inability to effectively use insulin, resulting in hyperglycemia. This health issue has reached alarming proportions, with over 500 million people worldwide living with diabetes. Conventional home care services are often inefficient in terms of cost and time and lack proper documentation. Therefore, an application-based home care model is needed to provide more efficient and effective care.
Objective - This study aims to develop a DM care model using an application-based home care method to improve patients' quality of life.
Methods - The methodology involved identifying and screening articles from databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. A review was then conducted based on abstracts and full texts to ensure relevance to the research topic.
Results - A total of 21 studies were included in this literature review. The findings indicate that an application-based home care model significantly improves the quality of life for DM patients. The use of the application allows for monitoring medical conditions, scheduling virtual appointments, and online medical consultations, which overall enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of care.
Conclusion - An application-based DM care model not only improves patients' quality of life but also facilitates easier access and adherence to care. The implementation of this model can be a more efficient and effective alternative to conventional care.
