Diabetic neuropathy is one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus that can affect the quality of life of patients. This study aims to evaluate the quality of life of patients with diabetic neuropathy, focusing on key aspects such as physical activity, psychological well-being, sleep quality, and treatment satisfaction. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method with diabetic neuropathy patients undergoing treatment at Tarakan Navy Hospital. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured various aspects of patient quality of life. The results showed that most patients had a good quality of life, with an average score above 75%. Disturbances to daily physical activities scored 92.50%, while heavy activities were 88.33%. The psychological aspect revealed that the patient's enthusiasm level reached 100%, with a perception of physical health at 88.33% and awareness of complications at 93.33%. Sleep quality remained quite good, with a score of 95.00%, and no major depression was detected (100%). Satisfaction with treatment reached the highest score, with therapeutic effectiveness of 98.33% and patient satisfaction of 100%. These findings show that with proper management, diabetic neuropathy patients can still live a good quality of life.
