Furthermore, our study revealed an overall positive attitude towards dealing with T2DM as well as a need for more information about T2DM and potential coping strategies. Finally, an important finding of ours relates to differences in DD between males and females, potential DD associated with health services provision and the specific challenges faced by housewives with T2DM. ## Keywords - Indonesian - Distress - Quality of Life Research - Coping (psychology) - Diabetes mellitus - Public health - Qualitative research - Medicine - Psychology - Clinical psychology - Gerontology - Nursing - Sociology - Social science - Endocrinology - Linguistics - Philosophy --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
