Ramadan Experience of Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Sponsor: Dilan aktepe coşar

Summary

This study aims to examine the effects of fasting during Ramadan on treatment adherence, psychological adjustment, and glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. While Ramadan fasting is a religious practice, it can also pose health risks such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and metabolic imbalance in individuals with diabetes. Adherence to treatment and self-care, as well as psychosocial adjustment, are crucial in the effective management of diabetes. Given that a large portion of Turkey's population is Muslim, comparing individuals with type 2 diabetes who fast and those who do not during Ramadan will contribute to improving patient care within a cultural and religious context. The findings of this study are expected to guide nurses in developing personalized, culturally sensitive care plans tailored to the needs of individuals before, during, and after Ramadan.
