This study aims to evaluate the connection between psychological well-being and diabetes self-management.<br> <b>Methods:</b> This cross-sectional study with 238 type 2 diabetes patients from Shahid Sayyad Shirazi Hospital assessed psychological well-being (Ryff Scale, 18 items) and diabetes self-management (DSMQ, 16 items) via convenience sampling, analyzing data in SPSS 26 with t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation.<br> <b>Results:</b> This study of 220 type 2 diabetes patients (mean age 61.54, 51.8% female) found significant associations between education, occupation, income, and RSPWB, as well as marital status and DSMQ. A strong correlation was observed between psychological well-being (mean score 68.83) and self-management (mean score 47.36) (p<0.001). Age showed no correlation with either measure, but hyperlipidemia was significantly linked to self-management (p=0.046).<br> <b>Conclusion</b>: The study found a significant link between marital status and diabetes self-management, highlighting demographic influences on both psychological well-being and self-management practices.</span></span><br> &nbsp;</p> Psychological Well-Being, Self-management, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 8 13 http://jcbr.goums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-55-6&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Saba Poolaie Poolaie@yahoo.com 10031947532846006528 0009-0002-5373-2144 No Student Research Committee, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Fatemeh Dashtian dashti.fm@yahoo.com 10031947532846006529 10031947532846006529 No Student Research Committee, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Fatemeh Mehravar mehravar10261@yahoo.com 10031947532846006530 10031947532846006530 No Ischemic Disorders Research Center, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran ; Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Akram Sanagoo akramsanagoo@gmail.com 10031947532846006531 10031947532846006531 No Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Seyed Ghadir Hosseini hosseini.seyedghadir@yahoo.com 10031947532846006532 0009-0001-4458-0014 Yes Department of Public Health, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran
