“…The positive effects of religion are evident across Indonesians with different illnesses and living in various regions and settings. For example, in the study with Muslim Indonesians living with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis in urban regions of Pekanbaru, a male participant mentioned that prayer gave him spirit and serenity and helped him sleep [10]. Going to the mosque or listening to the radio online to hear Islamic preaching also motivated some participants to seek medical treatment and to "not give up" on their illness [10].…”

Similarly, in the study of Muslim patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) living in urban regions in Yogyakarta, examining the relation between prayer and foot care behavior, results showed a significant association between praying and adopting good foot care behavior; the more patients prayed, the more likely they were to adopt good foot care [11].…”

“…Indonesia's population is ethnically diverse; there are over 300 ethnic groups, each with their own culture and convictions [5,6], and these influence health beliefs and practices [6], including the use of complementary/alternative medicine [7][8][9][10]. Indonesians are also known for their religiosity, and for many, faith and spirituality have an important role in how they make sense of and face an illness [10][11][12]. Education levels also vary among Indonesians [13], and this affects health literacy, which in turn also has an effect on health behaviors and treatment choices [7][8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16].…”

Culturally, Indonesians tend to be collective and family-oriented [15,17] and have more traditional views on gender roles, which shape expectations regarding support and assistance for when one is sick or suffering [7,9,14,15].…”

“…Biomedical Knowledge and Health Literacy. Research on the self-care experiences in Indonesia reflects the educational and cultural diversity of the country's population and shows variations in how illnesses and treatments are perceived and understood, and how self-care is practiced [7][8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16].…”

We conducted a literature review to document what is known regarding the self-care experiences and various influencing factors among adults living with chronic disease in Indonesia, from the perspective of those living with the illness. We searched CINAHL and Google Scholar to identify peer-reviewed research focused on men and/or women living with a chronic disease (the most prevalent) in urban or rural settings in Indonesia. Using a “Self-Care of Chronic Illness” framework as a guide, information on self-care experiences and how various factors influence these experiences, was extracted and synthesized. Nine studies were included (3 quantitative; 6 qualitative). Self-care involves maintaining well-being through different strategies (e.g., foot hygiene, seeking information/care, praying, diet, resting, and simplifying life), following prescribed treatments, and using traditional remedies. Religion sometimes serves as a means for taking care of one’s health (e.g., prayer), or as a source of motivation to self-care, while in other instances, it results in a fatalistic attitude. Which treatments (conventional versus traditional) are sought, it is affected by an understanding of the disease and treatments, which is shaped by beliefs, values, emotions, health literacy, and SES. The literature shows that family, especially women, has a key role in providing support. Community organizations also play an important supportive role, particularly for patients in rural areas. Significant barriers to healthcare include costs and care not being well-adapted to the psychosocial needs and contexts of patients. The literature highlights a disconnection between the self-care experiences and how healthcare and support are delivered. To better support self-care, healthcare professionals should use a personalized approach; however, more research is needed to gain a better understanding of what patients want and expect regarding how religion, beliefs, life circumstances, and the use of alternative therapies should be addressed within the patient-professional dynamic.
