Prevalence and Determinant Factors Affecting the Mental Health of Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide, who are at a higher risk of developing psychological issues instead of physical complications. Objective to analyze the prevalence and determinant factors associated with mental health issues among diabetes patients. This cross-sectional study involving 71 diabetes mellitus patients in Lamongan Regency between May and August 2023. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s test and logistic regression (α ≤ 0.05). Among the participants, 71.8% were female, 47.9% were aged 55–65 years, and 83.1% were non-smokers. Spearman’s test results indicated no significant association between diabetes type, history of heart disease, history of hypertension, and health insurance status with mental health issues (p = 0.057, p = 0.693, p = 0.925, p = 0.544). However, a significant association was found between physical activity and mental health issues in diabetes patients (p = 0.045). Physical activity was identified as the dominant factor influencing the risk of mental health issues among diabetes patients (p = 0.028, 95% CI = 8.812 [1.267–61.317]). Diabetes patients who engage in strenuous physical activity are eight times more likely to experience mental health issues compared to those engaging in light physical activity.
