ABSTRAK
Diabetes melitus merupakan penyakit metabolik kronis yang ditandai dengan
hiperglikemia akibat gangguan sekresi atau fungsi insulin, dan apabila tidak
ditangani dengan baik dapat menimbulkan berbagai komplikasi serius. Peningkatan
kasus diabetes melitus di Kota Jambi, termasuk di Rumah Sakit Dr. Bratanata
Jambi khususnya Paviliun Hesti, menunjukkan perlunya penelitian mengenai
karakteristik penderita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran usia,
pendidikan, jenis kelamin, dan pekerjaan penderita diabetes melitus di Paviliun
Hesti Rumah Sakit Dr. Bratanata Jambi. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Januari
Agustus 2025 dengan desain kuantitatif retrospektif menggunakan teknik total
sampling sebanyak 85 responden. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar checklist
dengan analisis univariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar
responden berusia lansia akhir (5665 tahun) (34,1%), berpendidikan menengah
(48,2%), berjenis kelamin perempuan (65,9%), dan tidak bekerja (51,8%).
Disarankan agar rumah sakit meningkatkan deteksi dini dan edukasi, institusi
pendidikan menjadikan penelitian ini sebagai referensi, penderita menjaga pola
hidup sehat, serta peneliti selanjutnya menambahkan variabel lain agar hasil lebih
komprehensif.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia
due to impaired insulin secretion or function, and if not properly managed, it can

cases in Jambi City, including at Dr. Bratanata Hospital, particularly in Hesti
Pavilion, highlights the need for research on patient characteristics. This study
aimed to describe the age, education, gender, and occupation of diabetes mellitus
patients in Hesti Pavilion, Dr. Bratanata Hospital Jambi. The research was
conducted from January to August 2025 using a quantitative retrospective design

results showed that most respondents were late elderly (5665 years) (34.1%), had
secondary education (48.2%), were female (65.9%), and unemployed (51.8%). It is
recommended that hospitals improve early detection and education, educational
institutions use this study as a reference, patients maintain a healthy lifestyle, and
future researchers include additional variables to obtain more comprehensive
