Methods: The study was conducted in a University Hospital Diabetes Education Center, Endocrine and Metabolism clinic and polyclinic between September and December 2021. The current study was of a cross-sectional type, and it was consisted of 110 individuals with TIIDM. Individual Information Form (IIF), Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and Spiritual Well-being Scale (FACIT-Sp) were utilized to collect data. Results: It was determined that individuals’ acceptance of illness scores were 21.85±3.93, and their spiritual well-being scores were 21.13±8.66. A statistically positive weak correlation was determined between the individuals' total mean scores of FACIT-Sp and AIS (p<0.05, r=0.434). The spiritual well-being levels predicted the acceptance of illness by 18%. Conclusion: It can be said that the individuals with TIIDM had mild levels of acceptance of illness and spiritual well-being. In addition, it was determined that as the individuals’ spiritual well-being levels increased, their acceptance of illness levels also increased.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle33109113114762510.29228/anatoljhr.62652
