Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkann aplikasi yang valid dan menguji coba dampak  penggunaan aplikasi perawatan diri terhadap resiliensi anak DMT1. Aplikasi ini diberi nama Carcohydrate Intake and Calory Output (CICO) Count yang menyediakan aktivitas utama menghitung kebutuhan karbohidrat (KH) dan luaran kalori harian dari anak DMT1 dan dipadukan dengan permainan pohon terimakasih (gratitude intervention). 

Penelitian dilakukan selama 15 bulan, berupa pengembangan aplikasi yang diuji validitasnya oleh 7 pakar. Hasil uji validitas internal didapatkan nilai CVi 0,97 (valid, >0,8). Tahap berikutnya dilakukan ujicoba aplikasi kepada empat (4) responden orangtua anak DMT1 untuk melihat kesesuaian isi aplikasi dengan kebutuhan penggguna. Hasil ujicoba menunjukkan kepuasan penguna mencapai 75%. Tahap penelitian akhir adalah ujicoba dampak aplikasi terhadap resiliensi anak DMT1. Pada kelompok kontrol dan intervensi dilakukan pengukuran kadar glukosa darah secara berulang setiap pekan selama empat pekan. Responden penelitian adalah 24 orang tua anak DMT1. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji perbedaan dengan Mann Whitney korelasi Pearson dan Spearman, serta GLM repeated measure. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan kadar glukosa darah antara kelompok kontrol dan intervensi pada akhir pekan keempat  (= 0.06, p<0,1), tidak ada perbedaan skor resiliensi antara kelompok kontrol dan intervensi (p=0,531). Berdarakan uji korelasi didapatkan faktor dukungan emosional keluarga  (r=0,380, p<0,1) dan gratitude (r= -0,509, p<0,1) berkorelasi dengan kadar glukosa darah praprandial. serta faktor stress (r= -0,610, p<0,1), koping avoidance (r= -0,289, p<0,1),  koping emotional (r= - 0,489, p<0,1), koping distance (r=0,285, p<0,1), dan dukunngan  emosional keluarga (r= 0,386, p<0,1) berkorelasi dengan resiliensi anak DMT1.

This study aimed to create  a valid application and examine  the impact of  T1D self-care applications on the level of resilience of children with  T1D  This application is so-called as Carbohydrate Intake and Calorie Output (CICO) count which enables to calculate  the carbohydrate (CH) needs, and daily caloric output of T1D children, and these are integrated with a gratitude intervention game.

The study was conducted for 15 months, in the form of application development, and has been tested for the validity by seven experts. The internal validity test showed  a CVi value was 0.97 (valid,> 0.8). The next step was to examine the application of DMT1 in parents to evaluate whether the contents of the application was compatible with the needs of users. The results showed 75% user satisfaction. The final step was tested  the impact of application on the resilience of children with T1D. Both the control  and the intervention groups was measured for their  blood glucose levels and repeated weekly in one month period. . The total respondents were 24 parents of T1D children. The data was analyzed, used  the difference test with Mann Witney, Pearson, and Spearman correlation, and GLM repeated measure. The results showed that there were differences in blood glucose levels between the control and intervention groups at the end of the fourth week (= 0.06, p <0.1), and there were no differences in resilience scores between the control and intervention groups (p = 0.531). Based on the correlation test, family emotional support factors (r = 0.380, p <0.1) and gratitude (r = -0.509, p <0.1) correlated with pre-prandial blood  glucose  levels.  The stress factors (r = -0,610, p <0,1), coping avoidance (r = -0,289, p <0,1), emotional coping (r = - 0,489, p <0,1), coping distance (r = 0.285, p <0.1), and family emotional support (r = 0.386, p <0.1) correlated with the resilience of T1D children.
