Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease that can cause serious and significant physical and psychological consequences in the affected individual. The aim of present study was predicting tolerance of ambiguity based on self-compassion and spiritual health in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Method: This study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all patients with type 2 diabetes who referred to specialized diabetes centers in Mashhad in 1403. Two hundred and five participants which met the inclusion criteria were selected through convenient and purposeful sampling. All participants responded to a battery of questionnaires including self-compassion questionnaires of Neff (2003), Delman and Frey (2004), and tolerance of ambiguity questionnaires of McLean (1993). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were used in SPSS version 26 software to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that self-compassion and its components, except for the human commonality and mindfulness components, have a significant positive relationship with tolerance for ambiguity (P<0.05). Also, spiritual health and its components have a significant positive relationship with tolerance for ambiguity (P<0.01). Also self-compassion (P<0.05, Beta=0.19), and spiritual health (P<0.05, Beta=0.17), were predictors of tolerance for ambiguity in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that tolerance for ambiguity can be predicted by the variables of self-compassion and spiritual health. As a result, it is suggested that psychotherapists and counseling professionals consider the role of self-compassion and spiritual health in increasing tolerance for ambiguity.
