Abstract

Disease management in people with diabetes melitus: access to information service consumption patterns and dental-mouth complicationsPurpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of the availability of information services related to diet and dental-mouth complications against diabetes melitus disease management.Methods: This research was a descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional design, using quantitative research methods. The population was all patients with diabetes mellitus who were recorded in Yogyakarta. Research sample counted 336 people at four health centers in Yogyakarta, namely Tegalrejo, Kotagede I, Mantrijeron, and Wirobrajan health centers.Results: This research indicated that there was no significant correlation between availability of consumption pattern information service and management behavior in diabetes melitus indicated by p>0.25 (p=0.763). There were significant correlations in the information of consumption pattern (p=0.003), information of oral dental complication (p=0.149), and family support (p=0.148) with management behavior in diabetes melitus indicated by p<0.25.Conclusions: Primary health care services to diabetic patients in Yogyakarta are generally good but still less concerned with the oral and dental health in diabetics. Primary health care needs to provide more oral health information to people with diabetes melitus. Moreover, education programs need innovation in delivering information to patients, especially patients with longer duration of diabetes.
