        This research aimed to assess the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on fasting blood sugar level and self-efficacy in type II diabetic women. Research methodology was quasi-experimental with pre & post-test, and follow-up (3 months) with a control group. Statistical population was all type II diabetic women, who referred to the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. Thirty female diabetic patients were selected by convenient sampling method and randomly assigned into two groups, experimental group (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). General Self-efficacy Scale (Sherer and Maddux, 1982) and Fasting Blood Sugar Test were used in the pre-test stage. Then, the experimental group participated in 8 sessions of therapy while the control group received no intervention. Finally, both groups were subjected to post-test and follow-up (3 months). Data analysis for the self-efficacy variable was done using the univariate analysis of covariance and repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data obtained through pre and post-meal blood sugar tests. Findings showed that after treatments there was a significant difference between test and control group. So that in experimental group, the mean score of self-efficacy and fasting blood sugar level increased and decreased, respectively, compared to the control (p < 0.001). Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family anxiety and self-care mediated family patterns in women with diabetes. The method of this research is descriptive correlational which identifies the relationship between research variables. The statistical population of this study included all diabetic women in Tehran, which is reported by the Association of Diabetes, which is 2800 people. The method of this research was randomly clustered and the number of sample groups according to Morgan table was 338 people. The Glasgow and Tubert Diabetes Self-Care Questionnaire (1994), the Christensen and Salavi Couples Pattern Patterns Questionnaire (1984) and the Healthy Anxiety Questionnaire for the Sickookis and Warwick (2002) Health Questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis and path analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings of the research indicate that the direct effect of health anxiety on self-care (0 117) is significant at the level of 0.05. The indirect effect of health anxiety on self-care (-0.21) is significant through a constructive interaction at the level of 0.01. Therefore, under the component of interacting constructive variable, communication patterns play the role of mediating between health anxiety and self-care. The results of the research showed that there is a relationship between self-care anxiety and mediation of family communication patterns in women with diabetes. Manuscript profile
