Type 2 DM also causes physical weakness, vision problems, risk of death, and depression. This study aimed to describe  depression tendencies in patients with type 2 DM under treatment in Kebonsari Primary Healthcare Center, Surabaya  city. This study was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The research samples were 74 people with  type 2 DM in the Kebonsari Primary Healthcare Center, Surabaya city. These respondents selected using simple  random sampling had met the inclusion criteria. These repsondents were aged more than 25 years old, did not  experience psychological disorders, and had suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus for 5 years. The data analysis was  done using a univariate analysis by looking at the frequency distribution of variables. The results indicate that the  prevalence of patients with type 2 DM who tended to experience depression was at 50%. The majority of patients with  type 2 DM who experienced depression were women (47.4%) and elderly (aged 46-65 years) (41.9%). Most of them  had low education levels (62.2%), and some respondents had complications (37.8%) and poor family support (62.2%).  Support from closest people such as family support can improve the adaptation of patients with the disease and can  prevent psychological disorders, especially depression in patients with type 2 DM.

ABSTRAK  Penyakit diabetes mellitus tipe 2 adalah sebuah kondisi karena insulin yang diproduksi tubuh tidak cukup atau tubuh  mengalami resistensi insulin. Diabetes mellitus tipe 2 dapat menyebabkan timbulnya kelemahan pada fisik, gangguan  pengelihatan, risiko kematian dan depresi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat  kecenderungan depresi pada penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 di Puskesmas Kebonsari Surabaya. Penelitian ini  adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel berjumlah 74 penderita diabetes mellitus tipe  2 di Puskesmas Kebonsari dan termasuk dalam kriteria inklusi yang telah ditentukan, yaitu berusia lebih dari 25  tahun, tidak mengalami kelainan jiwa dan menderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 selama lima tahun. Pengambilan sampel  dilakukan dengan teknik simple random sampling. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat  dengan melihat distribusi frekuensi variabel. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa prevalensi penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2  yang mengalami kecenderungan depresi sebesar 50%. Responden yang mengalami kecenderungan depresi sebagian  besar adalah perempuan (47,4%), merupakan kelompok usia lansia (46-65 tahun) (41,9%), memiliki tingkat  pendidikan yang rendah (62,2%), memiliki komplikasi (37,8%) dan mendapat dukungan keluarga yang rendah  (62,2%). Dukungan dari orang terdekat salah satunya dari keluarga dapat meningkatkan adaptasi penderita dengan  penyakitnya serta dapat mencegah timbulnya gangguan psikologis utamanya depresi pada penderita diabetes melitus  tipe 2.
