Concept Analysis of Self-Care for Diabetic Melitus Patients
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a significant public health problem, with a predicted increase in the number of patients in Indonesia reaching 28.6 million by 2045. Diabetes self-care is important to prevent complications and improve patients' quality of life. This analysis aims to clarify the concept of diabetes self-care and its activities in patients with diabetes mellitus. The methods used include literature searches in various databases to define diabetes self-care and analyses of attributes, case examples, and consequences of self-care practices. Results showed that diabetes self-care involves a healthy diet, physical activity, blood sugar monitoring, and medication adherence. Implications for practice emphasize the importance of self-care management education for diabetes patients to improve glycemic control and prevent complications, as well as the need for support from health professionals and families in the process of managing this disease.
