ABSTRAK
Neuropati ialah masalah yang
sering dideritai oleh pesakit diabetes mellitus. Jenis neuropati yang kerap
terjadi termasuklah neuropati periferi dan autonomik. Kajian keratan rentas ini
dilakukan bagi menentukan hubungkait antara tempoh menghidapi diabetes dan
kehilangan sensasi perlindungan dan kaitan ketidakseimbangan badan dan
kehilangan sensori perlindungan di kalangan wanita Melayu yang menghidapi
diabetes melitus. Seramai 81 orang wanita Melayu yang menghidapi diabetes
melitus, berumur antara 20 dan 60 tahun, daripada tiga klinik kesihatan di
daerah Hulu Langat menyertai kajian. Maklumat sosio-demografik diambil daripada
responden menggunakan borang soal selidik. Penilaian sensori kaki dijalankan
dengan menggunakan Semmes-Weinstein Monofilamen gred 5.07. Penilaian
keseimbangan badan pula dilakukan dengan kaedah Tempoh berdiri satu kaki. Ujian
Khi Kuasa Dua telah digunakan di dalam kajian ini untuk menentukan hubungan di
antara dua pembolehubah. Hasil kajian mendapati 56.8% daripada responden
mempunyai kehilangan sensori perlindungan pada sekurang-kurangnya satu kaki.
Manakala, 17.3% mempunyai ketidakseimbangan semasa mata dibuka dan 60.5%
mengalami ketidakseimbangan semasa mata ditutup. Namun begitu, tiada hubungan
yang bererti di antara ketidakseimbangan (semasa mata dibuka [χ2=3.27,
p=0.07] dan semasa mata ditutup [χ2=0.29, p=0.59]) dengan
kehilangan sensori perlindungan pada kaki. Hasil yang sama juga didapati antara
tempoh menghidapi diabetes dan kehilangan sensasi perlindungan (χ2=3.27,
p=0.20). Walaupun tiada hubungkait antara pelbagai faktor kajian, program
penyaringan harus bermula dari awal untuk memastikan masalah dikesan pada
peringkat awal sebelum komplikasi yang lebih teruk berlaku.

ABSTRACT
Neuropathy is a problem
often suffered by patients with diabetes mellitus. Types of neuropathy that
occur are peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. This cross sectional
study was conducted to determine the association between duration of diabetes
and loss of protective sensation and the association between imbalance and loss
of protective sensation among Malay women with diabetes mellitus. Eighty one
Malay women with diabetes mellitus, aged 20 to 60 years from three clinics in
Hulu Langat District participated in this study. Socio-demographic information
were obtained from respondent using a questionnaire. Foot sensory evaluation
was conducted using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament grade 5.07. Assessment of
balance was done using Timed One-leg Stance. Chi-squared test was used to
determine the association between the two variables. Result showed that 56.8%
of respondent had loss of protective sensation on at least one foot. While,
17.3% had imbalance while eyes were open and 60.5% experienced imbalance while
eyes were closed. However, there was no significant correlation (p<0.05)
between imbalance while eyes opened [χ2=3.27,
p=0.07] and while eyes close [χ2=0.29, p=0.59]) with loss of
protective sensation in at least one foot. Similar result were obtained between
duration of diabetes and the loss of protective sensation. (χ2=3.27,
p=0.20). Although there was no association between these factors, a screening
program should start early to ensure early problems are identified before more
severe complications occur.
