Introduction: Illness perception may contribute to foot care behavior because people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Indonesia may have different beliefs that influence their foot care behaviors. This study aimed to determine the relationships among foot care knowledge, illness perception, local beliefs, and foot care behaviors in people with T2DM in Indonesia. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 200 people with T2DM from the Outpatient Department of Islamic Hospital. The Foot Care Knowledge, Brief Illness Perception, Local Beliefs, and Foot Self-Care Behavior questionnaires were administered. Results: The predictors of foot care were having a family member or friend with diabetic foot ulcer ( p = .001), diabetes mellitus duration ( p = .026), foot care knowledge ( p < .001), consequences ( p < .001), treatment control ( p < .001), and local beliefs ( p = .017). Discussion: Health care providers may cultivate a spiritual approach, providing success stories to create positive images of the disease’s outcomes and increase patients’ confidence to control the disease.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major concern for the developed as well as developing countries. It poses with enormous disabilities and economic burden to the victims. The treatment cost of diabetes is increasing day by day. Aim: To ascertain how type 2 diabetes mellitus is incurring economic burden to the patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted during the period from January to June 2010 on 110 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka. The patients were selected conveniently and data were collected by face to face interview with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire. For estimation of economic burden, both direct and indirect treatment costs were calculated. Results: The study revealed that majority (36.4%) of the patients were in the age group of 46-55 years with the mean age of 53.65 (+10.44) years. Majority (60.0%) of them had lower monthly family income (Tk.5, 000-Tk.10, 000) and 36.4% of them lived in urban area. Most of the patients (90.9%) were under treatment with drug, diet control and physical exercise. Regarding sources of fund for treatment, 31.8% patients used their savings while 27.3% took loan, 20% got help from relatives and the remaining 20.9% got donation and sold wealth. Average treatment cost incurred by the patients was estimated to Tk. 5543.35 (+1273.29). Average direct treatment cost was estimated to Tk.2656.88 (+1367.23) of which average drug cost was Tk.653.36 (+476.36), investigation cost was Tk.596.73 (+375.56), travel cost Tk.530.31 (+795.46), attendant cost Tk.865.87 (+734.22) and consultation fee was Tk.244.48 (+167.22). Average indirect cost was calculated to Tk.3081.27 (+1275.91) which was only due to loss of income due to illness. Conclusion: The study findings will enable the health policy makers and health care providers at different levels to provide need based cost-effective health care services to reduce the economic burden of diabetes mellitus patients.

ABSTRAKPasien dengan diabetes melitus (DM) tipe 2 akan menggambarkan penyakit yang dialami sesuai dengan apa yang ada dalam pikirannya untuk memahami masalah terkait. Persepsi sakit dapat ditingkatkan melalui pendidikan kesehatan oleh perawat tentang bagaimana mengelola penyakit dan manajemen perawatan diri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa hubungan antara peran perawat sebagai edukator dengan persepsi sakit pada pasien DM tipe 2. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Teknik sampling penelitian ini adalah consecutive sampling dengan sampel sebanyak 112 responden. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner peran perawat sebagai edukator dan kuesioner Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman-rank dengan tingkat signifikansi 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara peran perawat sebagai edukator dengan persepsi sakit (p value: 0,001; r: -0,433). Tingkat korelasi sedang dan bersifat negatif yang berarti semakin tinggi nilai peran perawat sebagai edukator maka semakin rendah nilai persepsi sakit. Semakin baik peran perawat sebagai edukator, semakin positif persepsi pasien tentang penyakit, yang berarti semakin sedikit ancaman penyakit yang dirasakan oleh pasien. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa perawat harus dapat meningkatkan penyediaan pendidikan kesehatan untuk pasien dengan DM tipe 2 sehingga pasien dapat memiliki persepsi positif terhadap penyakit.   ABSTRACT Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus will describe their illness based on what is in their minds to understand related problems. Illness perception can be improved through health education by nurses about how to manage the illness and self-care management. This study aimed to analyze correlation between the role of nurse as educator and illness perception in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This research applied an observational analytic design with cross sectional approach. A total of 112 respondents were obtained by using consecutive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted by administering questionnaires of Role of Nurse as Educator and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). Data analysis was performed with Spearman-rank correlation test with significance level of 0,05. The result showed a significant correlation between the role of nurse as educator and illness perception (p value: 0,001; r: -0,433). The correlation was moderate and negative which means the higher the value of the role of nurse as educator, the lower the value of illness perception. The better the role of the nurse as educator, the more positive the patient’s perception about the illness, which means the less threatening the illness is perceived by the patients. This study indicates that nurses should be able to improve the provision of health education to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus so that patients can have positive perceptions of the illness.

The use of herbal medicine (HM) and its products has significantly increased in the past decade. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM) are always rendering herbal medicine as an alternative to the current option of treatment to manage their disease. This article is aimed to explore the extent of communication process of patients who disclose their HM usage to healthcare providers (HCPs) and HCP’s experiences in managing these patients. Purposive sampling method was applied in this qualitative study, which involved 28 respondents from four government clinics in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. A semi-structured interview was developed for the in-depth interview (IDI) and focus group interview (FGD). Both IDIs and FGDs were audio-recorded and conducted for approximately (40–60) minutes. The contents were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. The majority of T2DM patients did not reveal their HM usage due to fear of negative feedback, never been inquired by HCP and bad experiences after disclosure. Whereas, patients will disclose if they have a good rapport with HCPs and HCP asked patients courteously. However, HCPs reported that they did not discuss HM usage with patients due to limited knowledge, patients refuse to admit and time constraint to consult patients. Communication between T2DM patients and HCPs during consultation concerning the proper use of HM alongside modern medicine needs to be improved. Therefore, a better understanding factor of HM usage and its disclosure would make patients more open-minded to discuss and encourage HCPs to be attentive to avoid any potential adverse effects in HM usage.
