Abstract
Background and Objective: When people find out they have diabetes, they can face a spiritual crisis and feeling of loneliness; these factors can actually exacerbate the disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness training with Islamic approach on spiritual well-being and loneliness in women with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The present study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. In this study, the statistical population included all women with type 2 diabetes who were members of the Diabetic Patient Support Association of Yazd province in 2019. Thirty women were selected using purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of experimental (n=15) and control (n=15). The members of experimental group received eight sessions of mindfulness training with Islamic approach; the control group was on the waiting list. Spiritual Well-being Questionnaire (SWB) (Dehshiri et al.) and Loneliness Scale (Di Tommaso et al.) were used for data collection. Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. In this study, all ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
Results: According to the results, by controlling the pre-test effect, a significant difference was observed between the mean scores in the components of spiritual well-being (including: communication with God, self-communication, communication with nature, and communication with others) and loneliness (including: romantic loneliness, family loneliness, and social loneliness) between the two experimental and control groups on the post-test (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Mindfulness training with Islamic approach has a significant effect on promoting spiritual well-being and reducing the feeling of loneliness in women with type 2 diabetes.
