Introduction: Diabetic patients play
an important role in their treatment and reduction of symptoms, with self-care being
the most important factor for controlling disease progression. Self-efficacy in
promoting self-care behaviors in these patients is a major factor. The present
study aims to determine the correlation between self-care and self-efficacy
among patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: This
descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 95 patients, aged 30-65 years with type 2 diabetes. Data
were collected through interviews using a three part questionnaire covering
demographic data, self-efficacy and self-care in patients with type 2 diabetes,
and were analyzed using SPSS software version 20, and descriptive and
analytical statistics (Pearson correlation square, independent t-test, one way
variance and multivariate regression model). Results: Mean score of
self-efficacy was 71.5±14.1 and for self-care the mean score was 53.6±11.7. In
this study, Spearman correlation square showed a significant positive
correlation between self-care and self-efficacy (P<0.001). Also, significant
positive correlations were found between self-efficacy and all the aspects
self-care. Conclusions: This study showed a significant positive correlation
between self-care and self-efficacy, demonstrating that self-efficacy is a significant
requisite for self-care behavior must be emphasized in diabetes-related
educational programs.Introduction: Diabetic patients play
