Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to determine the structural model of self-care and mental health with the mediating role of resilience in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study is in the form of a descriptive and correlational research design using the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population of the study included all people with type 2 diabetes between the ages of 30 and 65 living in Tehran in 1403. The sample size was 143 people calculated using the Tabachnig and Fidel formula (2008) and selected using the convenience sampling method. In this study, the self-care questionnaires of Tobert and Glasgow (2000), resilience of Connor and Davidson (2003), and mental health of Witt and Weir (1983) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed by correlation tests and modeling. The results of the analysis of the findings showed that there is a significant positive correlation between the variables of self-care and resilience (p<0.01, r = 0.428), a significant positive correlation between the variables of self-care and mental health (p<0.01, r = 0.375), and a significant positive correlation between the variables of resilience and mental health (p<0.01, r = 0.457). Also, based on the significance criteria of the fit indices, the tested model has a very good fit. Therefore, based on the results of the study, it is recommended that health professionals consider the role of factors related to self-care and resilience in order to increase the mental health of people with type 2 diabetes and include these in their interventions.
