Abstract

The success of diabetes prevention is influenced by several factors, including access to information, family support, diet, activity patterns, nutritional status, and self-efficacy. These factors play a significant role in the self-care practices of individuals with diabetes. Self-care refers to actions taken by patients to improve their ability to meet their daily needs independently, enabling them to prevent and manage their illness and adhere to treatment and recommendations provided by healthcare services. This study aims to identify the self-care practices of individuals with diabetes. The research involved 40 respondents diagnosed with diabetes. The average self-care score among diabetic patients in the working area of Banjar Baru Selatan Community Health Center was 68.53, with the lowest score being 39 and the highest score 92. Establishing self-care behaviors as part of a cultural norm requires consistent repetition and routine, to the extent that these behaviors may eventually become secondary needs. One approach to cultivating such habits in individuals with diabetes is to focus on addressing their weaknesses through methods that align with their routines and learning patterns. This strategy can help foster motivation and enthusiasm in managing their condition.

Abstract

Diabetic patients experience various challenges in adhering to self-care practices, such as glucose monitoring, diet management, and physical activity, that require a continuum of care. The study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of diabetic patients regarding self-care and the factors that influence their adherence. The study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, involving five participants from South Kalimantan. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using the Colaizzi method to identify key themes reflecting self-care experiences. The study results showed that the five participants' understanding of self-care was still diverse, especially regarding glucose monitoring and physical activity. Family support was a significant factor in improving self-care adherence, although the family's understanding of diabetes management sometimes hindered these efforts. Other barriers included limited healthcare access, high-cost medication, and monitoring devices. In addition, participants showed optimism towards future health, but were concerned about the sustainability of self-care practices in the long term. The importance of diabetes management programmes that involve education for patients and families, and policies that support more affordable access to healthcare. A comprehensive approach to diabetes management, including family and community support, can improve patient adherence to self-care and quality of life.
