Abstract Background There is high prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Saudi Arabia that is still increasing. Early diagnosis of prediabetes, and immediate, effective intervention is yet unestablished. Conventional health promotion approaches are used to educate prediabetic patients. Behavior modification is very effective in prediabetics to delay T2DM. Thus, the main objective of this study is to examine the effect of the new behavioral model, the Transtheoretical Model short messages (text 4 change) to modify lifestyle to prevent or delay the onset of T2DM, through promotion of a healthy diet and increased physical activity, in impaired glucose tolerance patients. Another objective is to estimate the impact of this model on markers of cardiovascular and metabolic risks as T2DM is one of the modifiable risk factors to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Methods This is a randomized controlled trial. One thousand and sixteen, eligible Saudi adults will be recruited from the Heart Health Promotion study (HHP), which was conducted at the King Saud University from July 2013 to April 2014. These adults were at a higher risk of developing T2DM within 2–3 years. The research team’s database has a contact list and they will recruit individuals over 6–8 weeks. All participants will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio into two groups, receive group education about lifestyle modifications and written information about diet and physical activity. Text 4 change SMS texts will be sent only to the intervention group. All participants will be assessed at baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months for behavioral change using a World Health Organization (WHO) STEPS questionnaire and for glycated hemoglobin, biochemical and anthropometric measurements using standard methods. Discussion This new approach for promoting the importance of behavior modification in prediabetics is expected to delay and/or prevent the development of T2DM in Saudi Arabia, subsequently reducing the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality too. Results from this study will promote an innovative and high-tech way to decrease the burden of cardiovascular diseases in Saudi Arabia. Trial registration International Standard Randomized Control Trial, registration number ISRCTN10857643. Registered 4 June, 2018.

The number of Indonesian pilgrims in 2018 was 205,886 people.  Pilgrims who died in Saudi Arabia, both in Medina, Makkah, and Jeddah were 386 people. Based on the embarkation, the majority of hajj pilgrims who died in Saudi Arabia was from the embarkation of SUB (Surabaya) of 68 people (17.62%). This number was the highest compared with previous years. The increase in the number of pilgrims who died is closely related to the old age and the possession of chronic and degenerative diseases so that they experience complications during the pilgrimage. The Ministry of Health has issued a policy on the hajj health istithaah. To find out about the holding of the hajj pilgrims about health, a study was carried out on the description of knowledge of attitudes and actions as well as the dominant factors regarding health Istithaah. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design for interviews. The research locations were selected based on the number of pilgrims, namely DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and East Java. Samples were pilgrims who would perform the pilgrimage in 2018. Data analysis was carried out bivariate and multivariate. The results showed that the dominant factors that determine health Istithaah actions are knowledge, attitudes and waiting times, while the highest OR value is knowledge with an OR value of 2.689 (CI; 1.081 - 2.839), p-value 0.000 <0.05. This means that knowledge has a risk of 2.6 times the action of health isthitaah. Therefore, to increase knowledge and attitudes of prospective pilgrims need to be disseminated about health isthaah through health promotion programs. Abstrak   Jumlah Jemaah haji Indonesia pada tahun 2018 sebanyak 205.886 orang. Jemaah haji yang wafat selama masa operasional kesehatan haji di Arab Saudi, baik di Madinah, Makkah, dan Jeddah sebanyak 386 orang. Berdasarkan embarkasi, Jemaah haji wafat terbanyak berasal dari embarkasi SUB (Surabaya) sebanyak 68 orang (17,62%). Angka ini adalah yang tertinggi dibandingkan dengan tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan jumlah jemaah yang meninggal tersebut sangat berkaitan dengan banyaknya jemaah yang lanjut usia, memiliki penyakit kronik dan degeneratif sehingga mengalami komplikasi pada saat perjalanan ibadah haji. Kementerian Kesehatan telah mengeluarkan kebijakan Istithaah kesehatan jemaah haji. Untuk mengetahui pemahanan jemaah haji tentang Istithaah kesehatan dilakukan kajian gambaran pengetahuan sikap dan tindakan serta faktor dominan mengenai Istithaah kesehatan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain potong lintang untuk itu dilakukan wawancara. Lokasi penelitian dipilih pada jemaah haji terbanyak yaitu di DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, dan Jawa Timur. Sampel adalah jemaah haji yang akan melakukan ibadah haji tahun 2018. Analisis data dilakukan bivariat dan multivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Faktor dominan yang menentukan tindakan Istithaah kesehatan adalah pengetahuan, sikap dan waktu tunggu, sedangkan nilai OR yang tertinggi adalah pengetahuan dengan nilai OR 2,689 (CI; 1,081 – 2,839), p-value 0,000 < 0,05.  Artinya pengetahuan memiliki risiko 2,6 kali terhadap tindakan isthitaah kesehatan. Oleh karena itu untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap calon Jemaah haji perlu sosialisasi mengenai istithaah kesehatan melalui program promosi kesehatan.
