Background: Diabetic patients must be handled comprehensively to normalise blood sugar levels for a long time and it has an impact on diabetes distress. Self-management is an essential intervention to keep the patient's blood glucose levels stable. Moreover, people with diabetes with poor self-acceptance will have a negative view of themselves which can affect diabetes self-management. Thus, this study aimed to determine the relationship between self-acceptance and self-management of diabetes distress among patients in Roemani Semarang Hospital.
Methods: This study was a quantitative study with an observational approach. The sample amounted to 52 respondents who were treated at the Roemani Semarang hospital, in Indonesia. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Self-acceptance was measured by the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) questionnaire which consists of 8 questions compiled by Felton with Cronbach's Alpha 0.861. Self-management was measured by the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) compiled by Schmitt which consists of 16 questions with Cronbach's Alpha 0.628. Moreover, diabetes distress was measured by the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) questionnaire which consists of 17 question items compiled by William Polonsky with Cronbach's Alpha 0.840.
Results: Most diabetic patients had moderate self-acceptance 41 respondents (78.9%), good self-management 39 respondents (75%), and moderate diabetes distress 32 respondents (61.5%). Therefore, self-acceptance and self-management have a relationship with the incidence of diabetes distress (p-value of 0.001).
Conclusion: Diabetes distress must be treated in diabetes patients because it impacts self-management. Moreover, an approach to increasing self-acceptance is needed because also impacts diabetes distress. Further study to explore self-acceptance as a mediator between self-management and diabetes distress needs to be conducted.
