Abstract
Background: Quality of life (QoL) related to health is an important aspect in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Purpose : This study aims to find a relationship between blood pressure and QoL of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by controlling other variables. Methods: A Cross-sectional study of DM patients in the city of Bogor who were community-based participants with the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The QOL data were collected using DM Quality of Life modification questionnaire. Statistical analyses were conducted using logistic reggresion. Results: From the research conducted on 144 people with diabetes mellitus, more than half of the patients had hypertension (68.1%), adults aged 25-60 years (69.4%), women (79.9%), low education with less than 12 years of education year (62.5%), not working formally (66.0%), having a partner (77.8%), and getting treatment (75.7%). The quality of life of patients is balanced between good and poor quality of life (50%). Based on the results of the bivariate test, blood pressure, education, and the presence of partners had a significant relationship to quality of life (p <0.05). Based on multivariate test results, the OR value for blood pressure does not increase or decrease by more than 10% in the full model or partially, this indicates that the effect of pressure on quality of life is relatively stable (OR = 0.293). People with DM who are not hypertensive are protective factors against poor quality of life. The multivariate final model shows that the variable that greatly influences the quality of life is education (OR = 3.63). Conclusion: Blood pressure, education and the existence of partners have a significant relationship to the QoL of patients with Diabetes Mellitus (p <0.05). Age, sex, occupation and therapy were not statistically related (p> 0.05).
