Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationships between religious coping, acceptance of illness, and diabetes self-efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 606 patients with Type 2 diabetes who applied to Family Health Centers in a province center in eastern Turkey. Positive religious coping positively affects negative religious coping (t=3.887, p=0.001 R2=0.023). Negative religious coping positively affects diabetes self-efficacy (t=2.589, p=0.010, R2=0.010). Diabetes self-efficacy positively affects the level of acceptance of illness (t=9.865, p=0.010, R2=0.137). Model fits were found to be at satisfactory levels (x²/Sd=2.529, RMSEA=0.05, CFI=0.91, GFI=0.91, AGFI=0.88, IFI=0.91). The level of positive religious coping of individuals positively affects the level of negative religious coping. Negative religious coping levels positively affect diabetes self-efficacy. Diabetes self-efficacy positively affects the level of acceptance of illness.
