“…Although we included studies that used the religiosity scale, we did not assess the mechanism of religious coping used by patients, despite some studies indicating a relationship between religious coping and glycemic control. 34,35 Additionally, since the tools to measure the level of religiosity vary across studies, the findings should be carefully evaluated to draw a firm conclusion. Another limitation is the inclusion criterion of studies published only in English, studies in languages other than English were not reviewed, which reduced the heterogeneity of this review.…”

Glycemic control poses a challenge in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Religiosity can influence a patient’s coping strategies with the disease. However, the relationship between patient religiosity and glycemic control has not been thoroughly explored. In this systematic review, we assessed the relationship between religiosity and glycemic control in patients with T2DM. Using PubMed and Google Scholar, we included articles published in English from 2011 onwards that quantitatively examined religiosity and its relationship with glycemic control based on the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Four studies from four different countries were included, employing varying measurement tools to assess religiosity. The HbA1c level was significantly related to the Diabetes Fatalism Index (p<0.05) and with general gratitude and gratitude to God, as assessed using the Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousness. Religiosity may alleviate stress-related diseases and enhance diabetes care. One study showed a relationship between the HbA1c levels and the Beliefs and Values score amongst Muslims only. Two studies reported a significant correlation between religiosity and HbA1c levels. Reducing fatalistic beliefs and improving gratitude to God could be a viable strategy for helping patients manage T2DM. Further studies are needed to promote such an approach in T2DM management.

“…Religiusitas merupakan bentuk internalisasi diri seseorang terhadap agamanya yang tertuang dalam bentuk perilaku dan sikap serta menilai komitmen seseorang terhadap agamanya [22]. Faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi religiusitas seseorang adalah usia [24,25]. Pertambahan usia mendorong individu untuk meningkatkan kegiatan keagamaan.…”

Illness perception in diabetes mellitus patients can increase uncomfortable feelings. Therefore, religiosity is needed to establish more prosperous psychological well-being. The research aimed to analyze the correlation between religiosity and illness perception in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study design was a cross-sectional approach. A total of 138 respondents were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data were collected using the Indonesian version of the Centrality Religiosity Scale 15 (CRS-15) and The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) and analyzed using Spearman’s rho with a significant level of 0.05. The results showed that the average value of religiosity was 52.01. The median illness perception was 34.00. Based on statistical values, there was no significant correlation between religiosity and illness perception in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (p=0,225 and r=-0,104). The absence of the correlation may be due to the assessment of the illness perception that is more directed at the patient's intellectual than the patient's emotional problem. In addition, other factors such as the availability of information and psychological distress can also affect the illness perception. This study indicates the need for further research on other factors related to the perception of disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Australia has a high proportion of migrants, with an increasing migration rate from India. While many factors influence diabetes self-management among Indian migrants, very little is known about the influence of religious beliefs and spirituality. This study explored the religious beliefs of Indian migrants in Australia and the influence of those beliefs on their diabetes self-management.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of 23 Indian migrants. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed. Most participants believed that prayers helped them alleviate stress and improve diabetes management participants also believed that receiving blessings/prayers from religious leaders prevent or cure diseases including diabetes. There were mixed views on beliefs about using insulin obtained from animal sources. Some participants were concerned about the use of animal-based insulin as it was against their religious beliefs and teachings. Some participants believed that religious fasting does not have any impact on their diabetes while others believed that it can be detrimental to their health.Religious beliefs therefore played an important role in how Indian migrants managed their diabetes. Healthcare professionals should consider their patients' religious beliefs during consultations, enlist support, such as religious scholars, to better address people's misconceptions, and identify strategies for effective diabetes management that consider religious beliefs.
