Abstract

Ciparay District is one of the areas in Bandung Regency with a total of 2,106 cases of Diabetes Mellitus. Obesity is one of the diagnoses of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among the majority of adolescents, and various contributing factors have led to an increase in adolescent obesity, ultimately raising the risk of degenerative diseases in adulthood. To manage this risk, education related to achieving an ideal body weight is necessary. This study aims to develop a podcast as an educational medium about efforts to achieve ideal body weight among obese students as a way to manage Diabetes Mellitus. The study used a Research and Development (RnD) design with the ADDIE approach model. The research subjects were selected using total sampling, comprising 36 obese students. Based on preliminary studies, the media is needed in an audiovisual format, easy to access, and uses simple, understandable language. The podcast titled “Beware! Obesity Increases the Risk of Diabetes Mellitus”, with a duration of 25 minutes and 48 seconds, was developed. Statistical tests showed that the podcast is appropriate for use and has a positive impact on students' knowledge. The educational podcast is highly feasible for use and is accessible via Spotify.
