THE RELATIONSHIP OF CARE GIVER BURDEN WITH THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF DM PATIENTS IN THE INPATITION ROOM IN JAKARTA

ABSTRACT

The limitations experienced by DM patients in taking medication cause DM patients to need help from their families. Apart from that, other things that are a burden on families in caring for DM patients are diet management and increasing the ability to exercise in DM patients, so that with good management and regular exercise they can burn calories so that blood sugar can be stable. Families are expected to be caregivers for family members who suffer from DM. The aim of this research is to analyze caregiver burden and quality of life in DM patients in the inpatient ward at Hospital X Jakarta. This research uses a quantitative descriptive research method with a cross sectional method. The sample size in this study used accidental sampling, totaling 32 respondents. Data analysis to find relationships between variables uses the chi-square test because the data is on an ordinal scale.
This research showed that based on statistical tests there was a significant relationship between caregiver burden and the quality of life of DM patients with a p-value <0.05 (0.033). Suggestion: helping the main caregiver in their duties can lighten the caregiver's burden. The lighter the burden on caregivers can improve the quality of life of DM patients.
