EMPOWERING QUALITY OF LIFE: A SELF-EFFICACY DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS AT DARUSSALAM PUSKESMAS, MEDAN, INDONESIA

Abstract

This study proposes a self-efficacy development model aimed at empowering the quality of life among diabetes mellitus patients at Darussalam Puskesmas, Medan, Indonesia. Diabetes mellitus poses significant challenges to patients, affecting various aspects of their lives. Enhancing self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to manage the disease and its associated challenges, has been recognized as a valuable approach to improving diabetes self-care and overall quality of life. The model was developed based on a comprehensive review of relevant literature, existing interventions, and consultations with healthcare experts. It incorporates self-management education, psychosocial support, goal setting, and reinforcement strategies to foster self-efficacy and empower patients in their diabetes management journey. By implementing this model, healthcare providers can contribute to better health outcomes and a higher quality of life for diabetes mellitus patients in the Darussalam Puskesmas community.
