ABSTRAK

Improving self-care in T2DM patients is critical so that patients can achieve targeted blood glucose levels to prevent complications and independently perform daily tasks to improve their quality of life and life satisfaction. Psychological intervention is believed to be able to change a person's behavior towards a better direction in disease control and prevention. This study measures the impact of cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions on the self-care management of T2DM patients. This quasiexperimental study used a pretest-posttest with a control group design. The research subjects were divided into two groups, namely the intervention group (35 people) and the control group (35 people). The study was conducted at the Tello Primary Health Center in April 2021. The data were analyzed using the t-dependent test (α=0.05). The results of the study showed that in the intervention group, there were differences in the selfcare management of T2DM patients before and after being given CBT, which included eating patterns (p < 0.001; 95%CI -6.663-(-4.796)), physical activity (p<0.001; 95%CI -5.344-(-4.370)),and attitude (p=<0.001; 95%CI -13.086-(-10.115)). In the control group, there was no difference in the self-care management of T2DM patients, which included eating patterns (p= 0.083; 95%CI -0.183-0.012), physical activity (p= 0.058; 95%CI -0.291-0.005), and T2DM patients attitudes (p= 0.094; 95%CI -0.225-0.003). This means that CBT is effective in improving the self-care management of T2DM patients.
