Abstract:
Chronic complications are common in the gastrointestinal tract of diabetes mellitus patients called diabetic gastroparesis. Supportive-educative nutrition will help patients and families to achieve adaptive behavior and nutrition self-sufficiency. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of supportive-educative nutrition on family support, nutritional intake, and decreased gastroparesis of patients with diabetes mellitus. This study used quasi experimental, with pre-posttest design. The sample of 24 patients and the patient's family was taken by purposive sampling technique. Independent variable was supportive-educative nutrition and dependent variables were family support, nutritional intake, clinical sign of gastroparesis, and blood glucose levels. Family support data, nutritional intake, clinical sign of gastroparesis were measured by questionnaire and blood glucose levels by intake of venous blood samples. The inferential analysis used was Wilcoxon Signed Rank, Mann
-Whitney U test, paired T-test, Independent T-test with significant level α=0.05. The result showed that there were significant differences in family support (p = 0.005), nutritional intake (p = 0.015), and clinical sign of gastroparesis (p = 0.000). There was no difference in post-prandial blood glucose levels (p = 0.229). Supportive-educative nutrition of diabetic gastroparesis can improve the knowledge and acceptance of patients and families about the patient's condition so that family support will increase and achieve adequate nutritional intake and decreased clinical sign of gastroparesis.
