Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires dietary adherence as an effort to control blood sugar levels. One important aspect of diet management is patient motivation. Patient motivation in carrying out the diet is strongly influenced by various factors including the level of knowledge and family support.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and family support with the motivation of diet compliance in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 130 patients with diabetes mellitus at Bangetayu Community Health Center Semarang who were selected using simple random sampling technique. The test used is chi-square test.
Results: Based on the results of the analysis obtained (p-value = 0.01), it shows that there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and family support on the motivation of dietary compliance in patients with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, more intensive education and family involvement in patient care are needed to improve proper dietary compliance.
