Introduction: Burns are among the most common types of injuries that occur in daily life, whether at home, school, or in the surrounding environment. The mortality and morbidity rates due to burns in developing countries are estimated to be approximately 11.6 per 100,000 population. These injuries most frequently occur at home, school, or the workplace, with children and adolescents being the most vulnerable groups to burn injuries resulting from daily activities. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors that most significantly influence adolescents’ ability to provide first aid for burns at Muhammadiyah 8 Junior High School Surakarta.

A total of 100 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using logistic regression tests. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 11–14 years (46%), with 54% having a junior high school education. A total of 70 respondents (70%) obtained information from social media or the internet, 44 respondents (47%) had good knowledge, and 73 respondents (73%) had previously experienced burn injuries. In addition, 42 respondents (42%) administered first aid using running water, and 66 respondents (66%) were capable of providing burn first aid. The logistic regression test results showed that the source of information produced a p-value of 0.035 with an OR of 1.929 and a 95% CI of 1.048–3.551, indicating that the source of information was the most influential factor on the ability to perform burn first aid. Conclusion: Adolescents’ ability to perform burn first aid is influenced by several factors, including age, educational level, sources of information, knowledge level, history of burn injuries, and frequency of first aid practices.

Introduction: Patients with diabetes mellitus continue to face difficulties in performing self-care management based on the information they receive. Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) can serve as a reference for health education programs to improve patients’ knowledge and self-care management skills. This study aimed to analyze the effect of DSME on self-care management among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental two-group pre–posttest control design. The sample was 102 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus selected using simple random sampling. The instrument utilized was the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES). Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon test and multivariate ANOVA.

Results: The results of the multivariate analysis showed a p-value < 0.001, indicating that Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) had a significant effect on self-care management, including dietary patterns (R² = 0.313), physical activity (R² = 0.737), blood glucose monitoring (R² = 0.430), foot care (R² = 0.427), and medication adherence (R² = 0.349) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Physical activity demonstrated the most significant effect attributable to DSME.

Conclusion: Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) effectively improves self-care management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with the greatest impact on physical activity.
