TI  - Fatigue among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The Impact of Spirituality 
      and Illness Perceptions.

AB  - Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) can cause fatigue, negatively affecting the daily 
      functioning and health of individuals. The purpose of this study was to 
      investigate the impact of spirituality and illness perceptions on fatigue among 
      patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In this cross-sectional, descriptive 
      study, 100 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus completed the Fatigue 
      Assessment Scale, the FACIT Sp-12 scale, and the Illness Perception 
      Questionnaire-Revised assessing fatigue, spirituality, and illness perceptions, 
      respectively. The mean age of the sample was 52.18 +/- 15.53 years and 65% were 
      insulin-treated patients. The mean score for the FACIT Sp-12 scale was 31.86 +/- 
      7.7, for the FAS 27.0 +/- 7.63, and for the Consequences and Emotional 
      Representations of IPQ-R 25.5 +/- 5.3. Statistically negative significant 
      correlations were observed between the FACIT Sp-12 total score and the FAS 
      subscales (r = -0.44 to -0.48, p < 0.01) and positive correlations between the 
      "IP-Consequences and Emotional Representations" subscales and FAS scores. The 
      total score of the FACIT Sp-12 (beta = -0.35) was a negative predictor while 
      Consequences and Emotional Representations (beta = 0.28) were positive predictors of 
      the total FAS Score. Participants scored moderate levels of total fatigue. 
      Spirituality and positive illness perceptions may have a protective effect on the 
      fatigue of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
