Description
Background: The intricate caregiving responsibilities undertaken by family
caregivers in the care of patients with chronic diseases induce stress, potentially
reducing the family’s ability to provide effective care. In instances where family
caregivers of patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are unable to employ
effective coping mechanisms, there exists the potential for an adverse impact on the
patient’s quality of life.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family coping
strategies and the quality of life of patients with T2DM undergoing treatment in
primary health care in Malang, Indonesia. Additionally, it sought to investigate the
influence of demographic factors on both family coping strategies and the quality of
life of these patients.
Methods: The study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-
sectional approach. The participants included 327 individuals with T2DM and 327
family caregivers, selected from 16 primary healthcare centers using cluster random
sampling techniques. Data were collected using the COPE Brief questionnaire to
assess coping strategies and the DQOL (Diabetes Quality of Life) questionnaire to
measure the quality of life. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Spearman
rank test and multivariable logistic regression.
Results: The findings of the study revealed that a majority of family caregivers
employed adaptive coping strategies (93.9%), while a significant proportion of
individuals with T2DM reported having a good quality of life (84.1%). The analysis
demonstrated a positive relationship between family coping strategies and the
quality of life among T2DM patients. Specifically, better family coping strategy was
associated with higher quality of life in T2DM patients (p=0.000; r=0.447; α=0.05).
Also, a comprehensive demographic analysis revealed that education significantly
influences both the variables of family coping strategies and patient quality of life,
with odds ratios of 1.284 and 1.561, respectively.
Conclusion: The research findings emphasize the mutual influence between family
coping strategies and quality of life of T2DM patients. Nurses should prioritize
attention to demographic factors such as education, age, gender, and duration of
diabetes to enhance family coping strategies and improve the patients’ quality of life.
