| dc.description.abstract | Background: Self-care is essential factors that contribute to prevent diabetes
complications and improve the quality of life. From the literature review, the factors
affect self-care behavior are knowledge, self-efficacy, distress, and family support.
The purpose of the study was to examine self-care behaviors and related factors in
adult with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods: Descriptive analytic study with cross
sectional design was performed on adults with T2DM who referred to the Patrang
Public Health Center, Jember between January and April 2018. A total of 60 T2DM
patients were enrolled in this study by using purposive sampling technique. Data
were collected through interviews using Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy in
Diabetes Scale (SKILLD), Diabetes Self-Management Efficacy Scale (DSMES),
Hensarling Diabetes Family Support Scale (HDFSS), Diabetes Distress Scale (DSS)
and The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Measure (SDSCA). Data were
analyzed using multiple linear regression test with 95% CI. Results: The mean
score of self-care behavior in patients was 15.133±4.883, indicating moderate selfcare.
The
score
of
self-care
behavior
showed
a
statistically
significant
correlate
with
score
of
knowledge
of
diabetes
(r
=0.399),
self-efficacy
(r=0.355),
distress
(r=-0.532)
and
family support (r=0.897). The multiple linear regession showed, R Square
value=0.852 and Adjusted R Square = 0.841; Annova test, showed F value = 89.753
(p=0.000). The result of the research indicated that self-care behavior affected by
knowledge of diabetes, self-efficacy, family support and distress diabetes. Enhancing
knowledge of diabetes, self-efficacy, and family support will enhance the self-care
behavior, while enhancing of distress will decrease the self-care
behavior. Conclusions: These study shows the importance of knowledge, selfefficacy,
family
support,
and
distress
diabetes
in
determining
self‐care
behaviour
for
adult
T2DM and serve as references for future studies of self‐care behaviour in
T2DM patients. | en_US |
