Abstract

Background: Self-care activities exert a dramatic impact on the physical and mental performance of diabetic patients.
 
Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in diabetes self-management and HbA1C level in type 2 diabetes patients.
 
Methods: A multi-group pretest-posttest control group design was used in this quasi-experimental investigation. The statistical population of the study consisted of 25-55 years old diabetic patients referred to one of the health centers in Ghaemshahr in 2020, among whom 30 subjects were selected by purposeful sampling method and assigned to two groups of cognitive-behavioral therapy (n=15) and control group (n=15). Data were obtained using Tobert and Glasgow Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (2002), and glycosylated hemoglobin test (HbA1c). Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 22) using repeated measure analysis of variance.
 
Results: The results demonstrated that the cognitive-behavioral group had a significant effect on diabetes self-management and hypoglycemia (P<0.001). Moreover, the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in diabetes self-management and HbA1C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes remained stable three months after the intervention.
 
Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, the effective of cognitive-behavioral therapy in diabetes self-management and HbA1C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes has been confirmed.
