Introduction and Objective.Diabetes is commonly classified as a chronic disease of affluence due to the frequency of its incidence and the rate of its spreading. The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of life of geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and method. 294 seniors diagnosed with type 2 diabetes living in the Lower Silesian Province in south-western Poland took part in the study. The study used a self-developed questionnaire collecting clinical and socio-demographic data, the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire, Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory (SCODI) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Results. Significant relationships of QoL with BMI, level of education and place of residence, were observed. BMI was significantly negatively correlated with the psychological domain of functioning and the environmental functioning, the level of education was correlated with physical health, psychological and environmental functioning, while the place of residence was correlated with the perception of the QoL and environmental functioning. Acceptance of illness was positively correlated with the perception of QoL and one's physical health. The results of regression analyses in predicting QoL in all domains showed that all models were a good fit for the data (p < 0.001), and the single predictor was maintenance of selfcare. The level of depression was negatively correlated to a statistically significant degree with the perception of QoL and one's health condition. Conclusions. BMI, level of education and place of residence had the highest impact on the quality of life of the participants. The quality of life of the participants improved with the increase in the acceptance of their illness. The higher the level of depression exhibited by the participants, the poorer they evaluated their quality of life.

“…According to the scale total score mean; it can be said that "the acceptance of illness of the individuals is mild levels". In former studies, it has been reported that individuals with TIIDM have low or mild acceptance of their illnesses (Bak et al, 2017;Besen & Esen, 2012;Can et al, 2020;Krzemińska & Kostka, 2021;Olszak et al, 2016;Rogon et al, 2017;Starczewska et al, 2018;Şahin & Cingil, 2020;Şireci & Karabulutlu, 2017;Yılmaz et al, 2019). Individuals with TIIDM emphasized that living with diabetes is a difficult process.…”

Aim:The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of spiritual well-being levels on acceptance of illness in individuals with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (TIIDM). Methods: The study was conducted in a University Hospital Diabetes Education Center, Endocrine and Metabolism clinic and polyclinic between September and December 2021. The current study was of a cross-sectional type, and it was consisted of 110 individuals with TIIDM. Individual Information Form (IIF), Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and Spiritual Well-being Scale (FACIT-Sp) were utilized to collect data. Results: It was determined that individuals' acceptance of illness scores were 21.85±3.93, and their spiritual well-being scores were 21.13±8.66. A statistically positive weak correlation was determined between the individuals' total mean scores of FACIT-Sp and AIS (p<0.05, r=0.434). The spiritual well-being levels predicted the acceptance of illness by 18%. Conclusion:It can be said that the individuals with TIIDM had mild levels of acceptance of illness and spiritual well-being. In addition, it was determined that as the individuals' spiritual well-being levels increased, their acceptance of illness levels also increased.
