Abstract

Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus must be able to carry out self-care activities independently. The family as the closest person to the sufferer plays an important role in helping his family members. With an approach based on empowerment and involvement of the family as a companion, it is hoped that there will be suppression and prevention of disease for sufferers, increasing the ability and supporting the independence of care recipients.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of family empowerment on family support in diabetes patients in self-care.

Methods: This researcher used quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-test and post-test design approach. Using 2 research groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. The research sample consisted of 60 respondents, divided into 30 intervention groups and 30 control groups. The sampling technique used was a purposive sampling approach and data collection used a family support questionnaire.

Results: Family support before being given family empowerment in the control group and the intervention group was the same, namely 18 (60.0%) in the less category. After being given family empowerment in the control group, namely most or as many as 8 (26.7%) with a good category P value result of 0.007 and as many as 16 (53.3%) with a good category P value result of 0.000 (0.05) ) in the intervention group.
