Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with a rapidly increasing prevalence worldwide, particularly among the elderly population. Older adults with diabetes frequently experience multiple comorbidities that may complicate disease management, increase treatment burden, and reduce quality of life. Consequently, effective self-management is essential to maintain glycemic control and prevent complications. This study aimed to identify and analyze self-management among elderly individuals with diabetes mellitus and multiple comorbidities through a literature review. Methods: This study employed a literature review design using the PRISMA framework, including identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and synthesis of selected studies. A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO. Articles published within the last five years were included. A total of 5,934 articles were identified from the three databases. Following the removal of duplicates, abstract screening, and evaluation based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies were selected for analysis. The review indicated that self-management among older adults with diabetes mellitus remains suboptimal. Major challenges included dietary regulation, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and medication adherence. Physical and psychological conditions were also found to significantly influence self-management abilities. Self-management among elderly individuals with diabetes and multiple comorbidities requires further improvement through continuous health education, enhancement of self-efficacy, and strong social and family support to reduce complications and improve quality of life.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health threat, both in Indonesia and globally. Nearly half a billion people live with diabetes. DM patients experience elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) caused by abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of life in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. A quantitative descriptive method was used with 70 respondents with diabetes mellitus selected by accidental sampling. The research instrument used was the DQOOL questionnaire. Data collection was conducted in August 2024. The results of the study from 70 respondents showed that the most dominant respondents were type II DM patients with a good quality of life of 38 people (54.3%), and a poor quality of life of 32 people (45.7%). The conclusion of this study is that the majority Diabetes Mellitus of Type 2 Patients at Abdul Moeloek Hospital are elderly people with hypertension. These findings are expected to motivate Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients to improve their quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that often requires maintenance hemodialysis. CKD-associated pruritus (CKD-aP), also known as uremic pruritus, is a distressing itching condition that remains under-recognized and may contribute to physical discomfort, sleep disturbance, psychological burden, and poorer dermatology-related quality of life. Objective: To examine the association between CKD-aP severity and dermatology-related quality of life among chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This descriptive correlational cross-sectional study used purposive sampling. Data were collected from 72 hemodialysis patients at RSU Haji Surabaya and RSUD Sidoarjo during April-May 2019. Eligible participants were aged 18-65 years, received hemodialysis twice weekly, and reported pruritus within the previous month. Patients with primary dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis were excluded. CKD-aP severity was measured using the 5-D Itch Scale, and dermatology-related quality of life was measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Spearman's rank correlation was used for bivariate analysis. Results: The mean 5-D Itch Scale score was 14.83 +/- 4.224, and the mean DLQI score was 10.69 +/- 4.141. Because higher DLQI scores indicate poorer dermatology-related quality of life, the positive association between 5-D Itch Scale score and DLQI score indicated poorer outcomes with more severe pruritus. CKD-aP severity was significantly associated with dermatology-related quality of life (Spearman's rho = 0.588, p = 0.001, n = 72). Exploratory domain-level analysis suggested that pruritus degree (3.34 +/- 1.02) and duration (3.12 +/- 0.94) were the highest 5-D Itch Scale domains, while DLQI symptoms/feelings (3.11 +/- 1.38) and daily activities (2.41 +/- 1.21) were the most affected quality-of-life domains. Conclusion: This cross-sectional study found a significant moderate, approaching strong, positive association between CKD-aP severity and poorer dermatology-related quality of life among hemodialysis patients. Causality cannot be inferred. The findings support routine pruritus assessment and careful symptom management in hemodialysis nursing care

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that can affect a patient's quality of life if not properly managed. Patients require long-term care, making the prevention of complications essential, given the high potential for diabetes mellitus to cause complications in any organ of the body. Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of patients with diabetes mellitus in the context of efforts to prevent diabetes complications at an internal medicine outpatient clinic. Methods: This study employed a descriptive survey using a cross-sectional design. A sample of 84 respondents was selected using a non-random, purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire designed to assess the characteristics of patients with diabetes mellitus. Univariate analysis was performed following the data collection procedure. Respondents received a study explanation, and ethical research principles were upheld throughout the process. Results: Univariate analysis revealed the following profile of the diabetes mellitus patients: the majority were male (n=48; 57.1%) and aged between 45 and 64 years (n=47; 56.0%); the most common education level was junior high school (n=26; 31.0%); 19 respondents (22.6%) were civil servants; 31 respondents (36.9%) weighed between 61 and 80 kg; the majority (n=55; 65.5%) had a family history of diabetes mellitus; and the most common duration of the disease was 6–10 years (n=30; 35.7%). Conclusion: This study was limited to describing the characteristics of patients with diabetes mellitus regarding efforts to prevent complications; future research should investigate the relationship between these characteristics and the prevention of diabetes complications
