Darvyri et al[6] | To evaluate the impact of spirituality/religiosity on T2DM management. To summarize the evidence regarding T2DM outcomes as they are related to religiosity or spirituality of patients | Qualitative studies (cross-sectional) | A positive relationship between religiosity/spirituality and improved T2DM management. Participation in church and spiritual beliefs had ameliorating effects on stress levels and glycemic control |

Permana[12] | To identify, appraise and synthesize the best available evidence worldwide, including Indonesia, related to how people with DM perceive the role of religion and/or spirituality in managing daily self-care | A critical appraisal using an adapted CASP tool | Relationship with God or the transcendent, religion or spirituality, religious practices, and social support are crucial for people with DM |
Yuniarti et al[13] | To examine the mediation states of the variables in three quantitative studies | Conducted using a quantitative approach, using 68 participants aged 40–75 yr.

Berardi et al[32] | To determine if fatalistic beliefs were associated with elevated levels of glycated hemoglobin. To establish the role of religiosity in this relationship | Cross-sectional survey (simple random sampling) | Addressing fatalistic attitudes may be a viable strategy for improving DM management. Greater understanding of the interplay between religiosity and fatalism in this context is required |
