Özet
This study aims to reveal the feelings, difficulties, attitudes, and spiritual coping status of Turkish patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus toward fasting during Ramadan. The sample of this descriptive qualitative study consists of 14 patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. We determined two main themes and relevant sub-themes. The first was the feelings and difficulties experienced due to diabetes mellitus with the sub-themes of negative emotions and difficulties in fasting. The second theme was identified as religious and spiritual coping with the sub-themes of believing the disease comes from God, having difficulty in adhering to disease-specific practices while fasting, and feeling that fasting facilitates coping and provides relief. In conclusion, it was determined that the patients continued to fast despite the difficulties and that fasting facilitated coping and provided relaxation.
