WDD: PANCREAS

(World Diabetes Day: Partner Care for Diabetes)

SCOPH CIMSA UI

PANCREAS (Partner Care for Diabetes) is a project held by SCOPH CIMSA UI to commemorate World Diabetes Day on the 14th of November 2020. PANCREAS aims to raise public awareness toward diabetes and to educate people about healthy lifestyles to prevent or to take care of diabetes. Our project had three events, air campaigns, discussion forums, and the main event. We have made three infographics titled "Diabetes 101", "Diabetic Foot," and "Diabetes in The Era of Pandemic." At the end of the campaigns, we created a true or false challenge to see how well the public knows about diabetes.

The discussion forum is a forum created by creating a social media group in a mobile application called WhatsApp, which gave people opportunities to ask anything regarding diabetes to be answered by doctors capable in that field. We opened three forums, which were held on Sundays, and invited three doctors. They were dr. Rahayu, Sp. PD, who is the head of the Persadia branch in Jakarta Timur, and dr. F. C. Puspita Hapsari and dr. Atikah Isna Fatya, alumni of CIMSA UI.

Then, we held a Zoom online event with activities consisting of aerobic dance, webinars, and talk shows for the main event. An instructor-led the aerobic dance from Puskesmas Kabupaten Pasirnangka named Putri. We also had notable speakers from our external partnership with Departemen Ilmu Penyakit Dalam FKUI-RSCM: dr. Muhammad Firhat Idris, Sp. PD for our webinar titled "Komplikasi dan Perawatan Diabetes" and dr. Kaka Renaldi, Sp.PD, KGEH for our talk show, which discussed myths and facts about diabetes. In the post events, we shared an E-booklet containing the summary of diabetes that people needed to know through social media. Our circumstances were participated by numerous people, approximately 161 in the main event, 49 in discussion forums, and 31 people also participated in our air campaign challenge. There was a rise in the pretest and post-test average score from 63,97% to 84.97%. We hope that this event will truly impact people in maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent and take care of diabetes.
