Latar belakang: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that can affect the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of patients. Spirituality plays a crucial role in helping patients accept their condition (acceptance), reduce anxiety, and stabilize blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between spirituality and acceptance, anxiety, and blood glucose levels in T2DM patients.
Metode: This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 125 selected using purposive sampling. The study was conducted in March-February 2025 in the Bangkalan Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area. The research instruments included the Delaney Spirituality Scale (DSS), the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES), and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAS-7), along with observations of fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman^s rank correlation test with a significance level of α- = 0.05.
Hasil: There is a relationship between spirituality and self-efficacy (r = 0.279- p < 0.002), there is a relationship between spirituality and anxiety (r = -0.224- p < 0.012) and there is a relationship between spirituality and fasting blood glucose levels (r = -0.230- p < 0.010).
Kesimpulan: Spirituality is significantly associated with self-efficacy, anxiety, and blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Spirituality-based interventions should be considered as part of the holistic management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
