Journal Title: Chronic Diseases Journal - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases in Iran and the world. It is chronic, progressive, and expensive, and creates many complications. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and self-esteem with spiritual health in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS: The study was based on a descriptive correlational method. Statistical population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Ardabil City, Iran, in 2016. 108 patients with diabetes mellitus were selected as the statistical sample using the convenience sampling method. For data collection, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and spiritual health scales were used. Data analysis was made using Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression tests. RESULTS: There was a significant relationship between the self-efficacy and self-esteem with spiritual health in patients with diabetes mellitus. In addition, the results of multiple regression showed that self-efficacy and self-esteem could significantly predict spiritual health among these patients (P = 0.001 for both). CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that self-efficacy and self-esteem are considered among the predicting variables related to spiritual health.
