Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered a non-communicable disease (NCD) with a prevalence that keeps increasing and can lead to serious complications in the elderly. Family knowledge plays an important role in supporting efforts to prevent DM complications among the elderly. This study aimed to determine the level of family knowledge regarding the prevention of Diabetes Mellitus complications among older adults in the working area of Tuban Public Health Center. This study employed a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all families who had elderly members with Diabetes Mellitus in the working area of Tuban Public Health Center, totaling 51 respondents, selected using a total sampling technique. The research variable was the level of family knowledge regarding the prevention of Diabetes Mellitus complications among older adults. Data were collected using a questionnaire.The results showed that nearly half of the families (47.1%) had a secondary education level, most of them (52.9%) were employed, and the majority (54.9%) were in the adult age category. Nearly half of the families (47.1%) had a moderate level of knowledge. Based on cross -tabulation analysis, all families (100%) with higher education had good knowledge, most employed families (51.9%) had a moderate level of knowledge, and most families in the elderly age category (52.4%) had a moderate level of knowledge. Family knowledge plays an important role in preventing Diabetes Mellitus complications among olde r adults. Adequate understanding can help families provide care support, monitor health conditions, and encourage adherence to treatment and regular health check-ups. Therefore, continuous health education is needed to enhance family involvement in preventing Diabetes Mellitus complications among older adults.
