EFEKTIVITAS EDUKASI DAN PELATIHAN SENAM KAKI PADA IBU HAMIL DENGAN DIABETES MELITUS

Abstract: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition of glucose intolerance in pregnant women who have not previously been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, resulting in an increase in blood sugar levels during pregnancy (Allehdan, 2019). Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common pregnancy complication and can only be diagnosed at a gestational age of more than 20 weeks. Pregnant women with Miletus diabetes are at risk of gaining weight rapidly and generally also experience complications during the delivery process and are at risk of giving birth to babies with excess weight (macrosomia), giving birth to premature babies or physical disabilities. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) stated that in 2019 it was reported that 86% of pregnancies had diabetes complications, of which 7% were gestational diabetes mellitus (Ningsih, 2019). Efforts can be made to overcome this problem through education and training pregnant women to do diabetes foot exercises. This education aims to increase knowledge and awareness of pregnant women and help pregnant women do exercise, especially gymnastics, to prevent complications of diabetic feet (Amiri, 2021). This community service was carried out at Puri Jatisari Permai Kaliwungu by 15 pregnant women at Puri Jatisari Permai Kaliwungu. This service activity was carried out by 4 lecturers and 5 students. The results show that there are differences in pregnant women's knowledge before and after education. In addition, there is an increase in skills both during training and after training. The need for monitoring and follow-up on activities in the community.
