- How African Americans with type 2 diabetes perceive the spiritual role of health care providers (HCPs) and the effects of that role on self‐management was explored using a qualitative descriptive analysis. The sample consisted of 29 African American men and women ages 40–75 with type 2 diabetes and 5 ministers of African American churches. A spiritual relationship with their health provider was important in helping participants manage their diabetes. Three typologies from a parent study were expanded with a focus in this extended study on the meaning ascribed to spiritual relationships with providers and the impact of these relationships on self‐management. Care perceived as spiritual may be an important component of providing culturally sensitive health care to African Americans and may facilitate their self‐management. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
