Abstract

Impact of diabetes distress on diabetes self-care practices have been widely investigated but little known about the implication of the diabetes self-care on diabetic distress. This study is a correlational study that aims to discover the prevalence of distress and its correlation with self-care behavior in type II diabetes patients. This research was conducted in January-August 2018. Findings revealed that 70.5% of respondents had low self-care behavior and 50% of respondents experienced moderate to high level of distress. Chi-square test showed that there was no association between self-care and distress in type 2 diabetes patients as indicated by the value p = 0.4 > of 0.05. Health care for diabetes patient should focus on both physical and psychological health problems.
