IMPROVING SELF-EFFICACY DIET COMPLIANCE IN DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS THROUGH HEALTH EDUCATION

Abstrak

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has many complications but can be managed so that patients avoid various complications. One strategy is to manage the diet. Compliance in running a diabetes diet requires an awareness and intention (Self efficacy) from DM patients. The results of the study by Melda et al (2021) at Ulin Hospital Banjarmasin found that many DM patients who did not comply with the recommended diet program had low self-efficacy. Therefore, health promotion in DM patients needs to be done to convey correct information regarding the importance of dietary compliance. The patient said he was resigned and could not comply with the recommended dietary pattern. Through community service programs, We feel compelled to help provide solutions to patient non-compliance in carrying out the recommended diet program for DM patients at Ulin Hospital Banjarmasin. The form of this community service activity is in the form of health education about the diet of DM patients. Participants in this activity are DM patients who are outpatient at Ulin Hospital Banjarmasin as many as 15 people. The patient's dietary adherence self-efficacy was measured by the Indonesian version of The Diet Self Efficacy Scale questionnaire. Before health education was conducted, the average number of patients' answers was 19 (scale: 044), but after health education it increased to 36 (scale: 0-44).
