“…The participants allowed religious practices to determine their eating habits, in that their religious beliefs gave them the strength to take responsibility for their diabetes and adhere to their action plans. This finding is supported by several studies (Hjelm & Mufunda, ; Lundberg & Thrakul, ; Nakahara et al, ). Although the female participants agreed with the benefits of dietary management, some were unable to adhere to dietary management because of cultural constraints.…”

The aim of the present study was to explore self-care management of Thai Buddhists and Muslims with type 2 diabetes and inadequate blood glucose levels, after they had been subjected to a 6-month diabetes empowerment education program. Twenty-seven participants (male and female) were selected through purposive convenience sampling for an explorative qualitative study. Semistructured focus group interviews with four open-ended questions were used to study the participants' self-care behavior at the beginning and the end of the program, and the data obtained were subjected to content analysis. At the end, one third of the participants had been able to reduce their blood glucose to acceptable levels. Most of the others had achieved reduced but irregular blood glucose levels; however, some did not achieve any reduction. Diet was the most difficult problem, and economic difficulties, incorrect knowledge, and misleading beliefs were barriers. In conclusion, an empowerment education program can substantially improve the outcome of self-care management for many people with type 2 diabetes. In the planning of such programs, barriers should be taken into account.

“…Also, private and all forms of public religious practices among these patients were most strongly associated with self-care activities. Lundberg and Thrakul (2013) in their qualitative study found that religious and spiritual practices can be an effective means of helping Buddhist and Muslim women with type 2 diabetes to better manage their disease and change their lifestyles. Relationships with the divine are major sources of hope and strength in diabetes self-management (Gupta and Anandarajah 2014).…”

This study aimed to examine the relationship between religious practices and self-care of patients with type 2 diabetes. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted on 154 diabetic patients who were referred to two general teaching hospitals in Qom City (Iran). Data were collected using demographic questionnaire, private and public religious practices, and summary of diabetes self-care activities questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical tests including independent t test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Significant positive correlations were observed between religious practices and self-care activities in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). Significant positive correlations were also found between some religious practices and self-care activities subscales (p < 0.05). Healthcare providers should be aware of the role that religion plays in the lives of diabetic patients and be able to take religious factors into account when developing care plans. Doing so will enhance a more patient-centered approach and thereby support patients in their role as self-care decision-makers.

“…Religion practices could enhance patients' self‐care management. It was reported that self‐care management capabilities of the patients are related to their religion . However, more than half the sample in the present study was intrinsically motivated with regard to taking medications and SMBG.…”

“…It was reported that self-care management capabilities of the patients are related to their religion. 31 However, more than half the sample in the present study was intrinsically motivated with regard to taking medications and SMBG. These health practices may be perceived as being contingent on one's self in that a strong will and complete adherence are needed to normalize blood glucose levels.…”
