Abstrak

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels and impaired carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. At Kendari City General Hospital, diabetes mellitus is among the top ten causes of disease in outpatients. This study aimed to analyze the application of a web-based Diabetes Test application in assisting diet management for diabetes mellitus patients. Purposive sampling was used to select informants to explore users' in-depth experiences. Data were analyzed using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Health Belief Model (HBM), and Patient Engagement Theory (PET) approaches. The application was exceptionally well received. Under the TAM framework, it was considered easy to use due to its simple display and navigation, providing substantial benefits in diet regulation and health monitoring. Based on HBM, the application increased patient awareness of nutritional management, facilitated diet planning, and fostered self-confidence in implementing a healthy diet with minimal obstacles. Meanwhile, under PET, patients demonstrated active cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement by regularly utilizing the application’s features to monitor daily food intake and calorie needs.
