Pengaruh Terapi Brisk Walking Exercise Terhadap Kadar Glukosa Darah Penderita Diabetes Mellitus Di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Garuda Pekanbaru

Diabetes mellitus (DM) merupakan gangguan metabolik yang ditandai dengan kenaikan kadar glukosa darah diatas batas normal. Kadar glukosa darah yang tinggi, jika tidak terkontrol, dapat menyebabkan komplikasi serius seperti penyakit jantung, kerusakan ginjal, dan kebutaan. Pengelolaan DM sangat bergantung pada pengontrolan kadar glukosa darah melalui terapi yang tepat. Terapi farmakologis sering digunakan, namun pengobatan non-farmakologis juga menjadi pilihan yang semakin penting dalam mengelola DM. salah satunya melakukan aktivitas fisik yaitu brisk walking exercise, aktivitas fisik ini tidak mengakibatkan peningkatan insulin melainkan meningkatkan penyerapan glukosa oleh otot-otot yang aktif sehingga menjaga kadar glukosa darah tetap stabil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi brisk walking exercise terhadap kadar glukosa darah penderita diabetes mellitus di wilayah kerja puskesmas garuda. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain quasy eksperiment dengan rancangan pre-test and post-test without control. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari dengan intervensi yang diberikan terapi brisk walking exercise kepada 36 responden.. Jumlah responden dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Instrument yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah SOP, glucometer (Easy Touch) dan lembar observasi. Analisis yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu univariat dan bivariat dengan menggunakan analisi statistik uji paired test. Hasil penelitian didapatkan rerata kadar glukosa darah pre-test 247,39mg/dl dan post-test 196,58mg/dl. Uji statistik didapatkan bahwa p-value sebesar 0,000 (< 0,05) artinya Ho ditolak, dengan demikian terdapat perbedaan rerata kadar glukosa darah sebelum dan sesudah terapi brisk walking exercise. Rekomendasi brisk walking exercise sebagai latihan aktifitas fisik yang dapat dilakukan secara mandiri terhadap penderita diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels above normal limits. High blood glucose levels, if uncontrolled, can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and blindness. The management of DM relies heavily on controlling blood glucose levels through appropriate therapy. Pharmacological therapy is often used, but non-pharmacological treatment is also becoming an increasingly important option in managing DM. one of them is doing physical activity, namely brisk walking exercise, this physical activity does not cause an increase in insulin but rather increases the absorption of glucose by active muscles so as to keep blood glucose levels stable.

Statistical tests found that the P-value of 0.000 (<0.05) means Ho is rejected, thus there is a difference in the average blood glucose levels before and after brisk walking exercise therapy.
