Abstract:   (585 Views)
Background: Tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus (TBDM) comorbidity poses a major public health challenge, particularly in rural Indonesia, where fragmented services and limited healthcare access worsen patient outcomes. Despite global recognition of nurse-led care models, evidence on their use in rural, community-based TBDM management in Indonesia remains limited. This study aims to introduce nurse-led and community collaborative care (NaCo-care ), an integrated model designed to strengthen nursing leadership and interdisciplinary collaboration at the primary healthcare level.
Methods: This study comprises four stages: Initial epidemiological mapping of TBDM in Jember (descriptive spatial study); iterative development of the NaCo-care model based on patient and provider input (mixed-methods exploratory); validation of the model through expert panel discussions (Delphi method) and usability testing; and a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group design to assess the model’s effectiveness. Key outcome measures include changes in glycated hemoglobin levels, systemic inflammatory and immunological responses (via molecular rapid test, acid-fast bacillus, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), morisky medication adherence scale, and World Health Organization (WHO) quality of life. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, thematic analysis, content validity index (CVI), and analysis of covariance.
Results: The NaCo-care intervention group is expected to show significant improvement in glycemic control, biomarker profiles, medication adherence, and quality of life compared to controls, sustained over a six-month follow-up.
Conclusion: This study is anticipated to provide empirical evidence for the effectiveness of a nurse-led, community-based intervention for TBDM in rural Indonesia, addressing a key gap in integrated chronic disease management.
