- Abstract
This article is a research report about the relationship between adherence to medical treatment procedures recommended by doctors with health quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adherence to medical treatment regimes is often associated with the health related quality of life. In some previous studies, it was found that the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases decreased compared to health populations. Chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus is one of the diseases that get the attention of the Indonesian government to be immediately addressed. The purpose of this study was to look at the link between the level of adherence and health related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study was conducted at the primary health service (PUSKESMAS), using the SF 36 and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale to measure both adherence and health related quality of life. The results showed that level of adherence was in medium level, so was their quality of life. There was a significant relationship regarding the patient’s adherence and health related quality of life. Adherence to treatment regimes improves better physical and psychological conditions and will ultimately improve the patient’s quality of life.
