Self-Empowerment and Coping Strategies In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Self-Empowerment and Coping Strategies In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Empowerment, Coping Strategy, Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that can harm the body, both physically
and psychologically (stress). DM patients will carry out adaptive coping
strategies to properly manage treatment or therapy. The process of selfempowerment in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus will appear when they
have information or knowledge about the disease so that it can influence the
patient's self-skills for further treatment. This study aimed to analyze the
relationship between self-empowerment and coping strategies in patients
with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The design of this study was an analytical
observational study using a cross-sectional method. The sampling technique
used is consecutive sampling. The sample of this study was type 2 DM
patients with 84 respondents. The instrument used in this study is the
Diabetes Empowerment Scale-Long (DES-LF) questionnaire and the Cope
Inventory questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test. Selfempowerment and coping strategies in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
showed close to maximum results. In the results of the study, it was found
that there was no significant relationship between self-empowerment and
coping strategies in type 2 DM patients with p = 0.086. It means that other
factors can influence coping strategies. Health services can educate patients
about the importance of coping strategies for DM clients so that they can
reduce the impact of DM disease.
