Correlation between self-efficacy and health status of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in primary health care
The health status of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients is observed to decrease simultaneously along with the length of time. Despite the various treatment management offered in primary care, a decrease in health status is also observed among patients in Indonesia as shown by the low self-care ability. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and the health status of patients in primary care in Indonesia to provide evidence for the development of care management interventions for T2DM patients. The research used a descriptive analytical method with a cross-sectional design, including 327 T2DM patients in primary health care selected through cluster random sampling. Data collection used the Indonesian version of the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and Short Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaires which had been tested for validity and reliability. The data obtained were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment test with a significance value of 0.01. The results obtained an r-value of 0.485 with a p-value of 0.00, showing a significant relationship between selfefficacy and health status in T2DM patients (0.00<0.01; CI 99%). In conclusion, this study highlights a significant correlation between self-efficacy and the health status of individuals diagnosed with T2DM. The findings emphasize the pivotal role of selfefficacy in shaping the health outcomes of patients with T2DM.
