Background: Diabetes mellitus is a complex group of chronic diseases associated with hyperglycemia, resulting
in impaired insulin secretion and other organs. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus will experience changes in
themselves. Each individual responds and has a different perception of dealing with these changes. Providing
education aims to increase knowledge and improve the patient’s ability in self-care so that health problems are
resolved.
Objectives: The study wants to know the effectiveness of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) on
self-acceptance and self-care of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.
Patient and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used through one group pre-test and post-test design. The
total population is 25 people, with a saturated sampling technique, and a sample of 25 people. Data analysis used
a non-parametric statistical test, namely the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
Results: The majority of patients with Diabetes Mellitus had good self-acceptance, and the majority of patients’
self-care was found to be good (p=0.000).
Conclusions: The resulting study is the effectiveness of DSME on patient self-acceptance and self-care.
Recommendations: The DSME program requires involvement in glucose monitoring by health professionals.
Providing education to patients effectively provides psychological support and patient self-care.
