Abstract

Purpose
To analyze factors associated with positive religious coping among diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients based on demographic factors, disease characteristics, and patient factors.
Methods
This study was conducted in two hospitals in Indonesia. Patients (N=173) were selected through convenience sampling. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Brief RCOPE, and the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) were questionnaires employed in this study. The test of a binary logistic regression model was used.
Results
There was a significant relationship between positive religious coping and diabetes distress (p=.037). However, positive religious coping showed no significant relationship with demographic factors (age, education level) or disease characteristics (duration and degree of DF) (all p>0.05). Binary logistic regression results showed that family support (OR=4.09) and spiritual experience (OR=2.74) had the greatest strengths of relationship among factors influencing positive religious coping.
Conclusion
Efforts to improve positive religious coping in DFU patients can be made by optimizing their family support and spiritual experiences to improve their resilience and quality of life.
