Abstract: Type  2  Diabetes  mellitus  (T2DM)  is  one  of  chronic  metabolic  disease  with number  of  sufferers  continues  to  increase  every  year.  T2DM  patients  may  undergo  a various  alteration  on  multiple  aspects  of  their  life  including  physical,  psychological, social,  and  environment,  as  result  of  disease  process  and  its  management. Improved patient’s quality of life is the ultimate goal of all intervention choices and social support may afford psychological reinforcement to achieve it. This study aimed to determine the impact of social support on the quality of life of T2DM patients in Internal Department of RSUP Sanglah. This was a qualitative observational analytic study with crossectional subject-approach model. The samples comprised 36 T2DM patients aged ≥ 45  years who visited Internal Department, chosen by consecutive sampling. Data collection tools consisted  of  WHOQOL  Bref  questioner  and  Social  Support  Scale.  Statistical  analysis using  simple  linear  regression  demonstrated  significant  correlation  between  social support and patient’s quality of life (r = 0,977, and p value 0,000), the contribution of social support on quality of life was 95.5% (p value 0.000) and the remaining as much as  4.5%  of  the  quality  of  life  was  determined  by  other  factors.  Moreover,  from  the regression equation, that was Y = 6,061 + 0,587X, showed that every one unit increased of  social  support  variable  would  follow  by  increasing  on  the  score  of  quality  of  life about  0,587.  In  the  end  we  concluded  that,  as  well  as  the  increasing  of  social  support, patient’s quality of life would improve too.
