Abstract
Quality of life (QoL) was developed as one of outcome measured for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The QoL may decrease due to its complications. QoL may also relate to illness perceptions. This study aims to assess the impact of illness perceptions on QoL in T2DM patient with complications. A cross sectional study was carried out at the Internist Departement of PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Bantul, Yogyakarta, on July-September 2015. Short Form 36 questionnaire was used to assess QoL and The Brief-Illness Perceptions Questionnaire was used for measuring subject’s illness perceptions. Analysis of T-test and one way Anova to determine differences of QoL and illness perceptions among baseline (gender, age, education, occupation, plasma glucose, blood pressure, and duration of diabetes) and influence the illness perceptions on Qol. Fifty on T2DM patient with complications were studied. Subjects with low education level have worse physical role than subjects with middle and high education (p=0.049). The positive illness perceptions can increase the value of the QoL on physical role (p=0.032), vitality (p=0.032) mental health (p=0.001), social function (p=0.037). This findings suggest that education level and illness perceptions are associated with quality of life.
