Keywords:
Blood Glucose, Stress, T2DMAbstract
Background: Stress is a factor that affects blood glucose control in people with type 2 DM (T2DM), and high levels of stress in people with T2DM and lack of control or control during stress can make it difficult to control blood glucose levels. This study aims to determine the relationship between stress levels and blood glucose levels in people with T2DM at RS Bhakti Asih Brebes.
Methods: This quantitative study used an analytical descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The collected sample was 70 patients with T2DM using purposive sampling technique. Stress levels were measured using the valid and reliable Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire, while patients' blood glucose was measured using a calibrated glucometer. The analysis was carried out using the Spearman rank test to determine the relationship between stress levels and blood glucose levels.
Results: As many as 37 patients (52.9%) had moderate stress levels and 52 patients (74.3%) had poor blood glucose levels. There was a significant relationship between stress levels and blood glucose levels with a value of 0.0001 and a relationship strength of 0.893.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between stress levels and blood glucose levels in T2DM patients at RS Bhakti Asih Brebes. The relationship has a strong level of closeness with a positive correlation direction, so the more severe the level of stress a patient has, the worse the blood glucose level in T2DM patients.
