Abstract

One of the metabolic diseases that requires long-term care management is type II Diabetes mellitus. The physical and psychological complexity of DM patients often triggers depression, which can worsen blood glucose control, reduce quality of life, and increase mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of depression with random blood glucose levels in type II DM patients. The method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional design. A sample size of 78 people was selected using consecutive sampling techniques. Data were collected from the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI II) questionnaire and random KGD measurements. The data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test SPSS 25 for Windows to determine the correlation between variables. The depression of more than half of the respondents, 43 people (55.1%), was at a minimal level, while 37 respondents (47.4%) had controlled random blood glucose levels. Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation with a correlation coefficient of 0.760, meaning “Very Strong,” and a significance value (p-value) of 0.000 (p <0.05). The lower the level of depression, the better the control of random blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes. There is a significant correlation between depression and its effect on random blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. DM management efforts should include psychological interventions to reduce depression levels in order to improve blood glucose control.
