Abstract

Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a high prevalence, affecting 19.47 million people in Indonesia in 2021 and 90,796 people in Riau Province in 2022. This study aims to analyze the influence of family support, spirituality, and health status perception on the quality of life of diabetes mellitus patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: This study employed a non-experimental quantitative approach using survey methods and descriptive analysis. A total of 156 diabetes mellitus patients undergoing hemodialysis at Arifin Achmad Regional General Hospital, Riau Province, participated as the primary respondents. An intervention model was subsequently tested on 53 patients. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) to evaluate the relationships between latent variables and assess the structural model.

Results: The findings indicate that family support, spirituality, and health status perception significantly impact the quality of life of diabetes mellitus patients. In the baseline measurement, spirituality was the dominant factor affecting quality of life, followed by family support and health status perception. After the intervention, the relationship with God remained the most influential factor, followed by cognitive response to illness and emotional support.

Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach in managing diabetes mellitus patients undergoing hemodialysis. Integrating family support, spirituality, and health education is recommended as a comprehensive strategy to enhance patients' quality of life.
