Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem that affects the quality of life of people all over the globe and is a big contributor to the global health crisis. With the help of the construction of community development and self-empowerment initiatives, the objective of this project was to bring about an improvement in the quality of life for those who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The use of proportionate random sampling resulted in the selection of a total of 269 respondents from the total population of 57,025 individuals in the city of Bekasi. An technique that was quantitative and cross-sectional was used for the study methodology.Both self-empowerment and community development have a significant effect on quality of life, according to the results, which demonstrated that age and community development are two factors that have a significant impact on the degree to which individuals feel empowered. Age did not have a direct influence on the quality of life; however, it did have an indirect influence via the growth of self-empowerment. In addition to having direct benefits, the process of community development also offers indirect benefits that are helpful to the community.These results highlight the need of supporting community empowerment efforts that are geared to the unique requirements of persons of diverse ages in order to enhance the health of people who have type 2 diabetes to a greater extent.
