PG - 22799036231172759 LID - 10.1177/22799036231172759 [doi] LID - 22799036231172759 AB - Background: People with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience an increased health risk due to reduced physical activities. Cellular health technology (mHealth) offers a way that people with DM can engage in more complex physical activities. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) is the most commonly used theory in increasing physical activities. This study aims to find out the application of SCT in mHealth app to control blood sugar (GDP, HbA1C) of T2DM patients. Design and Method: This present study used a mixed method sequential explanatory design related to the application of mHealth Diabetes Physical Activity in Takalar Regency. The first step was to use qualitative methods with rapid assessment procedures in developing the application of SCT in mHealth. The second step was to validate and test the app through usability testing. The last step was intervening the development of mHealth app using quasi-experimental designs related to the influence of mHealth Diabetes Physical activity interventions in controlling blood sugar (GDP, HbA1c) in T2DM patients. The first group was the mHealth diabetes Physical activity (PA) intervention group; the second intervention group was a group monitored through Whatsapp group; and the third group was the group with physical activity module but without monitoring. Expected outcome: The findings of this study are expected to be the basis of evidence for nurses holding DM programs to make relevant policies and design an app-based physical activity promotion programs for T2DM patients. Conclusion: This protocol qualifies to be the basis of evidence for nurses holding Diabetes Mellitus programs in improving health services through IT-based health promotion programs.
