| Summary: | Adherence has an important role in therapy management in patients with
type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This research is to identify and analyze factors
related to medication adherence. The design used in this study was a
descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population
is type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers of Prolanis Group in Primary Health
Care Facilities in the Ponorogo Regency. A sample of 180 respondents was
taken by purposive sampling technique. Variable X includes age, gender,
education, occupation, income, and length of suffering. Variable Y was
medication compliance with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Data
collection used a Morisky Medication Adherence (MMAS-8) questionnaire
and was analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significant level of α <0.05.
From the results of the study, it was found that the factors of age, sex,
education, employment, income and duration of suffering had a significant
relationship with medication adherence for patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus. It is expected that health services develop family and communitybased service management. Researchers are further advised to develop
programs to improve medication adherence. |
