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.

“…Le concept d'autosoin est d'abord apparu dans les champs des sciences humaines (Levin et al, 1976), puis a été repris dans le champ de la promotion de la santé (Kickbusch, 1989). Il est porteur d'une revendication de l'autonomie de la personne dans le système de santé, reconnaissant la personne comme responsable de sa santé.…”

La prévalence accrue des maladies chroniques, dont celles pour lesquelles la prévention est possible, met en relief certaines limites des perspectives de soins de santé couramment déployées. Nous soutenons qu’une meilleure compréhension du « prendre soin », qui ne se limite pas aux actes médicaux et infirmiers, ni à la science infirmière, est nécessaire pour améliorer les pratiques et les résultats de santé. Prendre soin de la santé (PSS), comprenant le « prendre soin de soi », est un concept plus large que l’observance du traitement et l’autogestion de la maladie ou de la santé. Cet article vise à explorer l’intérêt du PSS. Une recherche documentaire a été réalisée pour mieux cerner les particularités du PSS, en examinant les fondements philosophiques, théoriques et pratiques du « prendre soin » par rapport à d’autres approches, dont le caring, et aux défis rencontrés. La problématique de santé des jeunes diabétiques et de leur famille sert d’ancrage à la réflexion proposée. Pour cette problématique, entre autres, la recension des écrits suggère que le PSS est porteur de possibilités pour améliorer l’accompagnement et la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes et pour développer l’agir préventif.The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, including those that are preventable, underlines important limitations of the healthcare perspectives commonly used. We argue that a better understanding of “prendre soin” (caring), which is not limited to medical or nursing procedures, nor to nursing science, is necessary to improve health practices and outcomes. “Prendre soin de la santé” or PSS (taking care of health or caring), which includes “prendre soin de soi” (taking care of oneself or self-care), is a concept broader than compliance to treatment and disease or health management. This paper aims at exploring the interest of PSS for healthcare. A literature review was conducted to examine the philosophical, theoretical and practical underpinnings of “prendre soin” in relation to other approaches, including caring, and current challenges. The proposed analysis is situated within the context of diabetic youth and their families’ health care. For this particular situation and others, PSS carries possibilities for improving the assistance and quality of life of the persons affected and to foster prevention

“…Largely neglected also are patients' pro-health psychological characteristics, such as attributions of self-efficacy for illness management, that are likely to contribute to responsible self-care (health self-regulation; cf., Anderson, 1979;Karoly, 1991;Levin, Katz, & Holst, 1976). Therefore, despite a growing recognition among health care providers of the benefits of early detection of health-compromising practices and self-defeating attitudes, many medical professionals continue to adopt a passive, problem-awaiting stance rather than taking advantage of relatively inexpensive paper-and-pencil or computer-based assessment devices that could enable them to anticipate and possibly prevent future threats to patient health and quality of life (cf., Curry, Ludman, Grothaus, Donovan, & Kim, 2003;Friedman, Sobel, Myers, Caudill, & Benson, 1995;Neumark-Sztainer, Wall, Story, & Perry, 2003).…”

This paper describes the development and preliminary validation of the Multidimensional Health Profile-Health Functioning Index (MHP-H), a 69-item self-report instrument designed to assess a variety of behaviors, perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs presumed to influence health status and the pursuit of lay and professional health care. The MHP-H briefly measures adult health history, health habits, health care utilization, health beliefs and attitudes, and response to illness (help-seeking behaviors). A national sample of adults (N = 673) was assessed, comprising 3 age groupings (18-32, 33-50, and 51-89) crossed with gender and then further subdivided into several subsamples for purposes of reliability and validity assessment. In addition, a group of spouse "key informants" was also recruited. Preliminary validation of single-item indicators as well as confirmatory factor analyses of multi-item scales was achieved. The present findings support the psychometric and practical utility of the MHP-H and warrant its use by health psychologists in a variety of research and applied settings. Keywordshealth behaviors; health attitudes; help seeking; national sampling; self-regulation In the domain of contemporary managed health care, psychological assessment and screening for possible future health risks, for potential over-or underutilization of services, or for attitudinal problems that could presage patient noncompliance is a widely acknowledged need that is seldom systematically addressed (Institute of Medicine, 1997; USDHHS, 2000). Largely neglected also are patients' pro-health psychological characteristics, such as attributions of self-efficacy for illness management, that are likely to contribute to responsible self-care (health self-regulation; cf., Anderson, 1979;Karoly, 1991;Levin, Katz, & Holst, 1976). Therefore, despite a growing recognition among health care providers of the benefits of early detection of health-compromising practices and self-defeating attitudes, many medical professionals continue to adopt a passive, problem-awaiting stance rather than taking advantage of relatively inexpensive paper-and-pencil or computer-based assessment devices that could enable them to anticipate and possibly prevent future threats to patient health and quality of life (cf., Curry, Ludman, Grothaus, Donovan, & Kim, 2003;Friedman, Sobel, Myers, Caudill, & Benson, 1995;Neumark-Sztainer, Wall, Story, & Perry, 2003). Fortunately, the unavailability of psychometrically sound and nationally normed instruments that assess patients' proclivities toward health-protective and health-compromising actions and attitudes may be one obstacle to progress in health screening that can be effectively addressed. The NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript purpose of the present research was the development of a comparatively brief self-report instrument to assist health care professionals in the cost-effective appraisal of clients' positive and negative health care orientations.The instrument d...
