Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is one of the chronic diseases with a prevalence of cases that continues to increase both globally and nationally. It is necessary to prevent diabetes mellitus behavior in individuals at risk based on the health belief model theory. This study aims to determine the description of individual perceptions in families who have a profile of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with cross sectional design with 120 respondents. Data was taken using demographic data and DHBM (The Diabetes Health Belief Measure) questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of respondents had negative perceptions about diabetes mellitus, which was 66.67%. This shows that more efforts need to be made by health workers to improve the perception of these individuals, by often providing information to the public about the behavior of preventing a disease in order to maximize health prevention efforts.AbstrakDiabetes melitus termasuk salah satu penyakit kronik dengan prevalensi kasus yang terus meningkat baik secara global maupun nasional.
