Abstract

Relationship between Demographic Characteristics and Dm-Related Stigma with Insulin Initiation in Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients In the Rural Area of the Pleret Health Center, Bantul

Background: Recent research shows that some people with type II diabetes mellitus who use insulin experience insulin resistance (known as psychological insulin resistance). Many people with type II DM receive diabetes-related stigma based on the fact that the condition is generally more commonly seen as an emerging disease related to lifestyle. Objectives: the aim of this study was to determine a relationship between demography characteristics and stigma related to diabetes mellitus with insulin initiation in type II diabetes mellitus patients in rural areas on Pleret primary health care. Methods: Quantitative with descriptive correlational research was used. Proportion sampling was used and 40 respondents was included. Chi square statistical test was performed.  Results: There is a significant relationship between the monthly income of families with insulin initiation. Statistical data also showed p-value = 0.00 (<0.05), that the higher family income, the more risk 35 times greater experience of receiving less insulin. In addition, there is a significant relationship between DM-related stigma and insulin initiation, with p-value=0.00 (<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between income and stigma associated with DM with insulin initiation in type II DM patients. However, these results still require deepening and are suggested for researchers to further examine other influencing factors, such as family support and the service system obtained.
