ABSTRACT
Praying for issues related to health can be a very important aspect in peoples' lives. Since research on this practice is limited, a qualitative study was conducted that explored the use of prayer in Hispanic migrant farmworkers diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Eighteen farmworkers were interviewed and asked two specific questions with multiple probes to elicit information regarding their religious practices and prayer. Responses regarding religious practices were extremely limited whereas the farmworkers expounded on the question relating to prayer. Three main themes emerged 1) Farmworkers used prayer in their daily lives; 2) Farmworkers prayed for themselves and their family; and 3) Farmworkers recited prayers specifically for their diabetes.
