Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that needs a sustainable self-care. Low-level knowledge
of self-care can worsen health condition and cause stress. DSME/S is an ongoing process to
facilitate knowledge, skill, and abilities required to perform self-care. This research aimed to analyze
the effect of DSME/S on stress in patients with type 2 DM. The design was quasi-experimental with
randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The sample size was 30 respondents which were
randomly divided into 15 respondents as the intervention group and 15 respondents as the control
group. DSME/S was conducted once per week for 6 weeks with 150 minutes for each encounter.
The measurement of stress was measured by using Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS). The data were
analyzed by using dependent t test and independent t test with significance level of 0.05. The result
of dependent t test revealed a significant difference of stress between pretest and posttest both in
the intervention group (p = 0.000) and in the control group (p = 0.000). Furthermore, independent t
test showed a significant difference between intervention group and control group (p = 0.001) so
that there was a significant effect of DSME/S on stress in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
