En 中文
BackgroundSelf-management is a key element in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, yet culturally relevant educational resources remain limited in Indonesia. The EduDiaCare module was designed as a structured program for diabetes self-management, grounded in the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors (R) framework and adapted to the Indonesian cultural and clinical context.PurposeThis study aimed to examine the content validity and acceptability of EduDiaCare prior to large-scale application.MethodsContent validity was assessed by a multidisciplinary panel of ten experts who evaluated each activity based on relevance (1-4 scale) and practical utility (0-2 scale). The Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and Scale-Level Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave) were calculated. Acceptability was evaluated through questionnaires and open-ended responses from five participants after completing the intervention.ResultsResults indicated that most activities achieved an I-CVI of 1.00, with overall S-CVI/Ave scores of 0.98 for relevance and 0.95 for practical utility. Expert consensus confirmed the validity of all activities. Participants reported high levels of clarity, comfort, and applicability, highlighting the importance of therapeutic alliance, narrative flow, and visual materials.DiscussionFindings support the feasibility of EduDiaCare as a culturally tailored, theory-based educational tool. Future studies should evaluate its effectiveness in improving self-management and quality of life outcomes.Translation to Health Education PracticeEduDiaCare provides a culturally adapted, theory-based diabetes self-management education module that can be used by health educators and practitioners to support structured, patient-centered education for individuals with type 2 diabetes in Indonesia.
