There is an upward surge in diabetes patients worldwide, including in Indonesia, annually. Diabetes can lead to new diseases that burden patients' lives further. Nurses can reduce this problem by identifying people at risk of developing diabetes and educating them on how to prevent diabetes.
The study aimed to determine the risk of diabetes in the Indonesian population.
The descriptive research involved a sample of 1216 Indonesians living in North Sumatra Province. Participants were nondiabetic individuals selected using the convenience method from May to October 2020. This study utilized the Indonesian version of the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) tool and employed various statistical analyses, including frequencies, percentages, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test.
Of the total samples, 372 were males (30.6%), and 844 were females (69.4%). The risk of developing diabetes was classified as low (57.1%), slightly elevated (36.4%), moderate (5.3%), high (1.0%), and very high (0.2%). Only one of the eight risk factors that differed significantly between men and women was a history of elevated blood glucose levels, with a -value of 0.02.
The study identified a portrait of the number and percentage of diabetes risk factors in a community setting in Indonesia. Nurses must provide education on diabetes prevention to not only members of the local community at the research site but also the general public, nationally and globally.
全球糖尿病患者数量呈上升趋势，印度尼西亚也不例外。糖尿病会引发新的疾病，进一步加重患者的生活负担。护士可以通过识别糖尿病高危人群并对其进行预防糖尿病的教育来减少这一问题。
本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚人群患糖尿病的风险。
描述性研究选取了北苏门答腊省1216名印度尼西亚人作为样本。研究对象为非糖尿病个体，于2020年5月至10月采用便利抽样法选取。本研究使用了印度尼西亚版的芬兰糖尿病风险评分（FINDRISC）工具，并采用了多种统计分析方法，包括频数、百分比、卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验。
在所有样本中，男性372人（30.6%），女性844人（69.4%）。患糖尿病的风险被分为低（57.1%）、轻度升高（36.4%）、中度（5.3%）、高（1.0%）和非常高（0.2%）。男性和女性之间有显著差异的八个风险因素中，只有一个是血糖水平升高史（P值为0.02）。
本研究确定了印度尼西亚社区环境中糖尿病风险因素的数量和百分比情况。护士不仅要对研究地点的当地社区成员，还要对全国乃至全球的普通公众进行糖尿病预防教育。
