Factors correlated to physical activity among diabetes type 2 patients

Abstract

Physical activity is an important strategy for the management of diabetes type 2 mellitus. However, this recommendation is related to physical barriers. Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients showed lower scores in energy use, number of steps and duration of physical activity compared to healthy individuals. This study aimed to identify factors that affected physical activity among diabetes type 2 patients. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. This study was conducted in Kabupaten Tuban, East Java, Indonesia. A total of 105 diabetes type 2 patients followed the program Prolanis from the community health center. Data was collected using paper-based questionnaires, which were aslked the demographic characteristics, knowledge about physical activity, diabetes management self-efficacy, and international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) during March to October, 2020. Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine the factors that affected physical activity of diabetes type 2 patients. This study found that complication, knowledge and self-efficacy have significantly affected physical activity among diabetes type 2 patients. This information is beneficial to develop nursing care interventions and approaches to increase the physical activity of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Challenges and Opportunities for Physical Activity Interventions in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers in Indigenous Areas throughout the world: A Scoping Review

“…Study Findings)Physical Activity and Its Impact on Type 2 DiabetesPhysical activity plays a crucial role in the management and prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Several sources indicate that physical activity is an essential strategy for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(Yazid & Busthomy, 2022).Similarly, some other researchers have found that interventions using the types of behavioral approaches that these diabetes self-management programs used have led people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to increase their physical activity levels, although not to the extent recommended by public health guidelines(Williams-Piehota et al, 2009). A scoping review was conducted to explore the challenges and opportunities for physical activityinterventions in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus sufferers in Indigenous areas throughout the world pISSN: 2654-2927 eISSN: 2656-4653 http://ejurnal.ung.ac.id/index.php/jnj | 72 and found that there is a lack of high-quality intervention studies in this area (MacMillan et al, 2014).…”
