Abstract

The incidence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Indonesia was increased by increasing age. One of the controlled glucose levels factors in DM patients is the level of adherence of DM patients in taking oral anti-diabetic drugs. The purpose of this study was to analyse the level of adherence in taking oral anti-diabetic drugs and linking the effectiveness of therapy to blood glucose levels possessed by geriatric type 2 DM patients and to analyse the non-adherence factors of geriatric type 2 DM patients. This study was conducted in a cross-sectional approach using the 8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire and looked at the relationship between the level of adherence to blood glucose level data obtained from demographic data that had been filled by patients. This study also analyse the non-adherence factors using the non-adherence factors questionnaire. The results showed that 18 patients had a high level of adherence, 16 patients had moderate adherence and 12 patients had a low level of adherence. While for blood glucose levels in type 2 DM patients, there were 33 patients had high blood glucose levels and 13 patients had normal blood glucose levels. Significant values between the two variables showed a result of 0.369 which could interpreted that there was no significant correlation between the level of adherence to glucose levels of geriatric type 2 DM patients. The non- adherence factors in this study were classified into 5 cases, there were not understanding how to use the drug if not notified by the family, feeling disturbed with a large number of drugs that must consume, forgetting to take medicine, exploring the body’s condition is healthier, and sensing the health of the body was worse than usual.
