This study aimed to investigate effect of a spiritual care on quality of life of patients with amputation caused by diabetes type 2.
The current study was a clinical trial. Fifty four patients with amputation caused by diabetes type 2 referred to Al-Zahra hospital at Isfahan was allocated to two case and control groups. Spiritual care training including transcendental meditation (T.M) technique was established for case group. Participants in case group performed four weeks of meditation technique following participating in sessions of meditation technique training. Data gathering was done using a standard tool to assess quality of life in patients with diabetes (diabetes quality of life: DQOL). Data was analyzed using SPSS software.
Mean score of quality of life in the four areas of quality of life was not significantly different among case and control groups at baseline, however, mean score of quality of life in case group (2.25 ± 0.56) was significantly better than control group (2.52 ± 0.38) after intervention (p<0.001).
Given findings of the study, it seems that spiritual care can improve quality of life of patients with amputation caused by diabetes type 2.
本研究旨在探讨精神关怀对2型糖尿病所致截肢患者生活质量的影响。
本研究为一项临床试验。将54例因2型糖尿病导致截肢且转诊至伊斯法罕的阿尔-扎赫拉医院的患者分为病例组和对照组。为病例组开展包括超觉静坐（T.M）技术在内的精神关怀培训。病例组参与者在参加冥想技术培训课程后进行为期四周的冥想技术练习。使用评估糖尿病患者生活质量的标准工具（糖尿病生活质量：DQOL）收集数据。数据采用SPSS软件进行分析。
病例组和对照组在基线时生活质量四个领域的平均得分无显著差异，然而，干预后病例组的生活质量平均得分（2.25±0.56）显著优于对照组（2.52±0.38）（p<0.001）。
根据该研究结果，精神关怀似乎可以改善2型糖尿病所致截肢患者的生活质量。
