Chronic illness is a major health problem in the United States with approximately 110 million Americans afflicted with some type of long-term health problem. Uncertainty is considered a major factor affecting adjustment to illness but little work has been directed at understanding its long-term effects in chronic illness. Although alleged to be a powerful coping resource, spiritual well-being has not been explored sufficiently and its effects on adjustment and the uncertainty of chronic illness is not known. Therefore the guiding question for this research was: What are the relationships among uncertainty, spiritual well-being, and psychosocial adjustment in adults with a chronic illness? A descriptive correlational design was used to answer three research questions and to test three hypotheses. The over-all theoretical framework for this study was Modeling and Role-Modeling. The sample of convenience consisted of 94 community-based adults with diabetes mellitus type I or II. The sample was drawn from Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. Five instruments were used for data collection; the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community Form, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self Report, a Participant Survey, and an Interview Schedule. Data were analyzed using descriptive, correlational, multivariate, and content analysis procedures. The sample of diabetics had a moderately low level of uncertainty, a high level of spiritual well-being, and were relatively well adjusted to living with diabetes. Pearson r correlations revealed significant inverse relationships between uncertainty and spiritual well-being and between spiritual well-being and psychosocial adjustment problems. Hierarchial multiple regression indicated that uncertainty accounted for 43% of the variance in over-all adjustment. Spiritual well-being had a significant 10% mediating effect on adjustment problems and uncertainty related to diabetes. Uncertainty and spiritual well-being together accounted for 56% of the variance in psychological distress and spiritual well-being explained a notable 21% of that relative variance. An unexpected finding in the study was the positive relationship between religious well-being and psychosocial adjustment problems to diabetes and its uncertainties. Existential orientation was consistently the major contributor of spiritual well-being.
