Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious chronic disease, caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin. It is estimated that people with diabetic are at twice the risk of anxiety compared to the general population. Diabetic patients with anxiety has been related to increasing risk of comorbidities, which can interfere with daily living activities, and life quality, increased health costs, and many other complication when compared with the general population.

Method: This study is a predictive type multivariate study, with a cross-sectional approach to 111 subjects in the outpatient clinic of Universitas Sumatera Utara hospital. The tests carried out in this study were the bivariate test, multivariate linear regression test to determine what factors are related to anxiety scores in DM patients, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A) as measurement tool.

Results: After conducting the multivariate analysis test, it was found that the variables associated with anxiety scores in people with DM were length of education (p <0.001), Body Mass Index (p <0.001), duration of illness (p <0.001), work status (p <0.001), comorbidity (p = 0.021).

Conclusion: By knowing the factors that influence anxiety scores in people with DM, it is hoped that clinicians will pay more attention to the symptoms of anxiety in people with DM, especially in the early days of diagnosis so that intervention can be carried out.
