Psychological changes such as anxiety and depression experienced by people with diabetes mellitus can adversely affect the development of diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the description of spiritual well-being and depression in diabetes mellitus patients at primary health care center. This research is a descriptive study conducted on 52 respondents with purposive sampling technique, data collection using spiritual wellbeing scale and PHQ-9 questionnaires and statistic by descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the study and a description of the discussion in this study it can be concluded that diabetes mellitus patients have a high spiritual wellbeing of 48 people (92.3%) and experienced mild depression as many as 26 people (53.8%). The high spiritual wellbeing because respondents still have hope, that hope is a multi-dimensional concept that provides comfort as long as individuals experience life-threatening situations.
