“…Diabetes self-management strategies increase lifestyle adjustments to maintain best possible diabetes management to achieve optimal glycaemic control in type 2 diabetics [83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91]. In this study the current situation of adherence to self-care behaviour of type 2 diabetics in Arba Minch General Hospital and factors that contribute to efficient adherence to self-care behaviour of diabetics was investigated.…”

Background: Diabetes self-care behaviour adherence is considered to be the cornerstone in diabetes care. Hence, the success of long-term maintenance therapy for diabetes depends largely on the patients' adherence with self-care behaviour. and data were collected by using interviewer administered questionnaires. The data were entered into EPI-DATA version 3.1, and analysed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were used for most variables; a bivariate analysis was employed to determine the presence of association between adherence to self-care behaviour with other variables at P-value less than 0.05. Multi-variable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors of glycaemic control and self-care behaviour adherence. Results:One hundred ninty four type 2 diabetics were participated in this study and 99 (51.0%) were Females. Mean age of participants was 50.3(±13.2) years, and 41.2% had good self-care behaviour adherence. Above one half (57.2%) had diabetes duration less than five years, with mean duration of diabetes 5.02 ± 3.8 years. Conclusion:In our study area adherence to self-care behaviour of the study subjects were low. So strategies that can improve these discrepancies like provision of diabetes self-care education and counselling especially on importance of self-monitoring of blood glucose, physical activity and problem solving should be considered by responsible bodies.

“…Nevertheless, studies also revealed the negative influences that religious beliefs might play in hindering self-management of illnesses 25,40 . The differences might emerge from how the religious authorities interpret teachings from the scriptures.…”

“…Another theme is submission which refers to relinquish self-management to God's will 16 , or to wait for God to heal the condition 16,21,41 . This sometimes manifests as a fatalistic view of illness 25,32,42 , which hinders them in fully self-caring for their condition 1,16,41,43 and not adhering to medication 1,21 . While, to some others being fatalistic do not necessarily have a negative meaning; it gives them inner strength to manage their condition 5 .…”

Background: abundant evidence exists worldwide with regards to how religiosity and/or spirituality plays a role in influencing people with Type 2 diabetes manage their daily self-care activities. Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world and research suggeststhat Indonesia has among the highest incidence of diabetes in the world. However, paucity of evidences was found about the relationship of religiosity and/or spirituality to the self-care of diabetes.Methods: The objective of this structuredreview is to identify, appraise and synthesise the best available evidence worldwide, including Indonesia, related to how people with diabetes perceives the role of religion and/or spirituality in managing daily self-care. CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE and Garuda, an Indonesian search portal were accessed to find evidence regarding self-care, religion and diabetes using the keywords 'religion', 'religiosity', 'spirituality', 'selfcare', 'self-management', 'self-efficacy', 'diabetes'. A critical appraisal using an adapted CASP tool was utilized. Results: The first attempt collected 51,722 articles from CINAHL, 11,346 from OvidMEDLINE, 62 from ISJD, 4 from Google Cendikia and nothing from Garuda. Second attempt was done with the inclusion of 'linked full text', 'references available', 'abstract available ', '1970-2012', age range of '19-65' and revealed a total of 298 articles. Third attempt was done using several inclusion criteria, such as: self-management in chronic illness, quality of life in chronic illness, coping with diabetes, structured education in diabetes, and health behaviour determinants. Criteria exclusion was applied, such as: mental health, psychosis, nutrition intervention, chronic renal diseases, nurse's coping, and dying patients. Finally, thirtyone studies were retrieved to be analysed. Several themes emerged from the evidence these included: relationship with God or the transcendent, religion or spirituality as coping methods; religious practices; and, social support.

“…Social support is significantly positively correlated with self-care behavior (15,21), taking diabetes medication (13), physical activity (13,26,44), and significantly negatively correlated with diabetes distress (25), as well as reductions in body mass index (39) and HbA1c (2,16,45). Connection is related to improved glycemic control (34), improved depression and quality of life (35), and reductions in HbA1C (31,36,38).…”

In 1998, a brave cardiologist named Dean Ornish published a book called Love and Survival with a straightforward hypothesis and went on to defend, with scientific evidence, the notion that "love and intimacy are among the most powerful factors in health and illness" (1). He boldly declared, "I am not aware of any other factor in medicine-not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgerythat has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness, and premature death from all causes." In the nearly two decades since his seminal work was made available for the general public, patients and researchers alike have focused on the knowledge that the people we surround ourselves with, providing support and being supported, matters deeply to our health and well-being. This field of inquiry has firmly established the criticality of social relationships for sustaining and improving health (2) and associated the lack of social integration with specific conditions such as cardiovascular disease, depression, cancer, infection, and mortality (3). Newer analytical techniques such as social network analysis are helping a fresh generation of researchers explore patterns of social connectedness through innovative procedures and algorithms that further expand our understanding.For the purpose of this review, social support is defined as researchers to achieve connection, and to assess the state of the science in this area. We hypothesized that being connected to someone who cares is good for your health. We believe this holds true even when connection is accomplished with mobile technologies. Thirty five studies were included in this review, 21utilized technology to enhance patient-provider connection. The articles included in this review were from a total of more than nine countries and took place in hospital, physician office, and community settings.They represented people from childhood through to old age. Technologies evaluated include: telephone interventions, email, text messaging, interactive voice response (IVR), video blogs, apps, websites, and social media. There were multiple operational definitions of social support and self-management used as variables within the studies. Findings from this review suggest that being connected does matter to patients with diabetes, and being connected to family matters the most, even though the associations are complex and not always predictable. Furthermore, patients with diabetes will utilize a variety of technologies to connect with healthcare providers, team members, and even other people with the same disease. The use of technology with diabetes patients positively impacts a variety of health outcomes, such as HbA1c, weight, physical activity, healthy eating, cholesterol and frequency of glycemic monitoring.
