The Influence of Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) on Self Care Behavior in Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients in the Working Area of the Sungai Raya Dalam Community Health Center

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a high incidence rate and is a serious problem and tends to be frightening for society. The number of diabetes mellitus sufferers in Indonesia is quite fantastic. Basic health research (Riskesdas) in 2009 stated that the number of type 2 diabetes mellitus sufferers in Indonesia reached 2% or around 3 million people and experienced an increase in similar research in 2012, namely 2.4% or around 3.5 million people out of Indonesia's total population of around 246,900,000 people and of the 3.5 million people, only around 30% receive regular treatment. In an effort to reduce this risk, an independent diabetes management program is needed for people with diabetes. Diabetes mellitus control will be more effective if early prevention is prioritized through patient self-care efforts in the family. Self-management programs can encourage patients to use existing resources to manage the symptoms they experience, especially in patients with chronic diseases. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is a health education process for individuals or families dealing with diabetes. DSME uses guidance, counseling and behavioral intervention methods to increase knowledge about diabetes and improve individual and family skills in managing diabetes mellitus. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) on selfcare behavior in Type II DM patients in the Sungai Raya Dalam Community Health Center working area. The results of this research are that there is an influence of Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) on self-care behavior in Type II Diabetes mellitus patients in the working area of the Sungai Raya Dalam Community Health Center.
