Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with a rising prevalence that can lead to physical and psychological complications, ultimately reducing patients’ quality of life. Effective management of T2DM requires adequate self-management, including diet regulation, physical activity, medication adherence, and blood glucose monitoring. Poor self-management may result in uncontrolled glycemia, higher risk of complications, and decreased quality of life.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-management ability and quality of life in patients with T2DM at Kendalkerep Community Health Center.
Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 120 T2DM patients receiving treatment at Kendalkerep Community Health Center. Self-management ability was measured using the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), and quality of life was assessed with the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) instrument.
Results: Most respondents demonstrated good self-management ability, while their quality of life was categorized as moderate. Statistical analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation revealed no significant relationship between self-management ability and quality of life (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between self-management ability and quality of life in patients with T2DM at Kendalkerep Community Health Center. This suggests that other factors may influence quality of life, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive and multidimensional nursing approach..
