Background: Diabetes mellitus can cause dangerous complications and affect the sufferer's quality of life. Objectives: This research aims to study the relationship between self-empowerment and family support and the quality of life of diabetes mellitus sufferers in Tuban Regency. Methods: This research used a cross-sectional method. The research population was all diabetes mellitus sufferers who participated in the chronic disease program in Tuban Regency in July 2023, as many as 192 people. The sample for this research was 130 people selected using simple random sampling. Data collection used a questionnaire that has been tested. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and the Spearman test. Results: The characteristics of Diabetes Mellitus sufferers are 8 people aged less than 45 years, 103 women, 75 people with high self-empowerment, and 107 people with good family support. The quality of life of sufferers was in the good category for as many as 105 people and in the bad category for as many as 25 people. The relationship between self-empowerment and the quality of life of sufferers is 0.754 (p=0.000), and family support and the quality of life of sufferers is 0.950 (p=0.000). The results of the analysis show that high self-empowerment and good family support are closely related to the quality of life of diabetes mellitus sufferers. Conclusion: So, if there is a family member in the family who suffers from diabetes mellitus, it is hoped that the family will empower the sufferer to meet their needs, and it is important for the family to provide support so that the sufferer is confident.
