Factors Affecting The Quality Of Life Of Dm t2 Patients With Diabetic Food Ulcer: A Scoping Review

Abstrak

Background; Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in blood sugar levels due to lack of insulin production that occurs over a lifetime. If T2DM patients make the wrong decision, one of the complications that can be experienced is Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU), due to damage to peripheral nerve tissue in the foot. Objective; This study aims to explore the factors that influence the quality of life of T2DM patients with  DFU. Methods; This study used a scoping review approach guided by the PRISMA  framework. The literature search was conducted through Scopus, Pubmed, and Science Direct  databases, with inclusion and exclusion criteria focusing on the last 10 years of articles.  Results; Of the 155 articles, after filtering with full text searches, 110 articles were then entered into the Elicit application which was filtered based on the author's name, research country, research year, research design and research objectives, with duplication checking of articles in the Mendeley application which left 100 articles, which fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria into 8 articles. Conclusion; The incidence of DFU in T2DM patients is the effect of limited literacy in making medical decisions, which is influenced by factors of gender, age, educational background, employment status, marital status, economic level, surrounding environment, and the spiritual level of the patient. Thus, correct literacy is needed in the community to improve the quality of life of T2DM patients to avoid complications of T2DM, namely DFU
