| dc.description.abstract | Living with diabetes can lead to various psychosocial problems that affect
health and the ability to manage diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that must
be managed every day by patients, causing increased stress. This study
aimed to analyze the relationship between self-esteem and diabetes
distress in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study used an
analytical observational design with a cross-sectional method. The sample
in this study was 84 type 2 DM patients. Sampling was carried out in this
study using a non-probability sampling technique using consecutive
sampling. Self-esteem is measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
(RSES), while diabetes distress is measured using the Diabetes Distress
Scale (DDS). Data analysis in this study used the Spearman rank (rs)
statistical test. Respondents in this study had low self-esteem, as many as
51 people (60.7%). The diabetes distress respondents were in the moderate
distress category, as many as 43 people (51%). Based on the results of the
study, it was found that there was a significant relationship between self esteem and diabetes distress in type 2 DM patients with a correlation value
of -0.548, which means that the direction of the correlation is negative with
moderate strength. This shows that the higher the self-esteem of type 2 DM
patients, the lower the diabetes distress experienced. Nurses are expected
to think about psychological aspects by providing counseling interventions
to patients to increase self-esteem to reduce diabetes distress experienced
by patients. | en_US |
