Abstract

The blood glucose level of patients with Diabetes Mellitus is influenced by their dietary compliance. The dietary compliance of patients with Diabetes Mellitus is influenced by various inhibiting factors, including income, environment, and information from the health professionals. Objective: The purpose of the research is to figure out the factors inhibiting the dietary compliance of patients with Diabetes Mellitus at Purwokerto Utara Public Health Center. Method: This research uses a correlation analytical design with a cross sectional approach. 87 samples are collected using a simple random sampling method. The research instruments are questionnaires of Barriers to Diet Self Care Scale as well as those for income, environment, and information from the health professionals. Result: A bivariate analysis is conducted using Spearman correlation test. The research results show there is no significant relationship between income and the dietary compliance barriers (p=0.145). However, there is a significant relationship between environment and the dietary compliance barriers (p=0.000; r=0.534) as well as between information from the health professionals and the dietary compliance barriers (p=0.000; r=0.427). Conclusion: The higher the inhibition of environment and information from the health professionals, the higher the dietary compliance barriers of patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
