Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most common chronic metabolic diseases. The crisis provoked by this disease leads to seeking moral support as a coping mechanism. Spiritual well-being is one of the basic concepts associated with handling the problems and tension caused by the disease. Based on former studies, type II diabetes has a negative impact on quality of life. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 100 patients referring to diabetes clinic of Zabol, Iran, who met the inclusion criteria. Spiritual well-being (SWB) and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaires were employed for data collection. After completing the questionnaires, the collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS, version 20.

Results: According to the obtained results, the mean score of spiritual well-being was 91.69±10.26, indicating the favorable condition of the patients in this regard. Mean score of quality of life (232.21±43.65) also demonstrated that the participants were in a relatively good state. Furthermore, we found a positive association between quality of life and its subscales and spiritual health and its subscales (P<0.05).

Conclusions: To improve quality of life, developing plans and approaches to promote spiritual well-being of diabetic patients can be beneficial.
