Introduction
Diabetes is among the chronic diseases that can result in physical and psychological
complications such as amputation, distress and low quality of life. These complications usually
lead to an increased need for spirituality which patients tend to use spiritual support as a coping
mechanism (Movahed et al., 2020). Numerous research has been conducted to understand the
spiritual effects on the spiritual well-being of diabetes patients. The purpose of the peer-reviewed
article titled "Investigating the effect of meditation on the spiritual well-being of Type-2 diabetic
amputees: A clinical trial study" by Movahed et al., 2020 is to examine the influence of medical
meditation on the general spiritual welfare of amputees patients of type-2 diabetes.
Diabetes accounts for approximately 4 million death every year worldwide, and because
of its drastic increase in cases of the disease the WHO, has termed it as an underlying epidemic,
as Movahed et al. report. With time diabetes causes chronic complications and health conditions
that often result in depression, lack of interest in social activities, and lack of motivation, which
affects a patient's general well-being. In the US, amputation is the major complication of
diabetes, with about 50,000 cases per year. Referring to research studies conducted in Iran,
amputation surgeries are usually done on 41.5% of diabetes patients with lower limb amputation
at a higher rate, coupled with hospitalization, therapy, home care and social support (Movahed et
al., 2020). The hypothesis tested in this research is that health meditation as spiritual care is
highly connected to spirituality. The researchers' prediction is based on the hypothesis that
diabetes leads to an increase in spiritual support. Spiritual support is used as a tool to handle and
manage the health issues that comes with having diabetes.
