Description

Introduction: Decreased or missing insulin causes glucose to be retained in
the circulation, increasing blood sugar levels while depleting the glucose
required for cell survival and function. In type 2 DM patients, complaints
of neuropathy are typical. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact
of diabetic foot exercise on patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at the
Selemadeg Timur II Health Center.
Methods: Pre-experimental research is the type of study being conducted.
From December 2022 to January 2023, the study was conducted at the
Selemadeg Timur II Health Center. A total of 34 people were included in
the sampling method with purposive sampling. The Wilcoxon signed-rank
test was used for analysis.
Results: This study included 34 samples, and convenience or accidental
sampling was used to choose the samples. The Wilcoxon test's Asymp. Sig.
(2-tailed), which is 0.02 or 0.05, reveals the significance value. The results
of the research show that before intervention the most sensitivity is
moderate with 18 (61,2%) after treatment, data show that the most
sensitivity is good with 16 (47%); p-value 0,02<0,05.
Conclusion: Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at the East Selemadeg II
Health Center have sensitive feet, which is influenced by diabetic foot
exercise. It is important for families and communities to give motivation to
diabetes mellitus patients to do diabetic foot exercise as one of the
alternative therapies to prevent foot complications and increase foot
sensitivity.
