Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the length of suffering from Diabetes Mellitus (DM) with a decrease in the quality of life in patients. The quality of life includes physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The results showed a significant negative relationship between duration of diabetes and quality of life, especially in the physical and psychological domains. These findings emphasize the importance of holistic care in the long-term management of DM.
