The comparison of different psychological approaches in terms of their effect on psychological variables is of interest to many researchers. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of unified transdiagnostic treatment and hope therapy on self-care activities and reducing cognitive-behavioral avoidance in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods and Materials: 

The design of the research is experimental and pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all married men and women with type 2 diabetes and members of Ahvaz diabetes society in 1400. 60 of these patients were selected based on the criteria of entry and exit, screening and purposefully, and after matching, they were randomly assigned in 3 groups of 20 people. Research tools included diabetes self-care activities scale (Toobert et al. 2000) and cognitive-behavioral avoidance scale (Ottenbreit and Dobson, 2004). Data were analyzed through multivariate (MANCOVA) and univariate (ANCOVA) analyzes using SPSS software.

The results showed that integrated transdiagnostic treatment and hope therapy were effective on self-care activities and cognitive-behavioral avoidance in patients with diabetes (p<0.05); in addition, the results showed that there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of two types of intervention in patients with diabetes.

It seems that both approaches are equally effective on self-care activities and cognitive-behavioral avoidance in patients with diabetes.

Considering that diabetes brings mental, physical, personal, family and social relationships and people's understanding of their health, so the purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of integrated transdiagnostic treatment on cognitive-behavioral avoidance and self-care activities in patients with diabetes. It is type 2 diabetes.

The research method was experimental and a pre-test-post-test design was used with a control group. The statistical population of the research includes all married men and women suffering from type 2 diabetes in Ahvaz, who were members of the Diabetes Association of this city in 1400. To collect information from this statistical population, 40 of these patients were selected using diagnostic interview, oral interview and based on the entry and exit criteria, screening and purposefully and after matching by pairwise method and Individuals were randomly assigned to 2 groups of 20 people, (experimental group with integrated meta-diagnostic treatment method (20 people) and control group (20 people). Research tools include cognitive-behavioral avoidance scale (Ettenberg and Dobson, 2004) and The scale of diabetes self-care activities was (Tobert et al., 2000). The data were analyzed through multivariate (MANCOVA) and univariate (ANCOVA) analysis of covariance.

The results showed that integrated transdiagnostic treatment on avoidance Cognitive-behavioral and self-care activities are effective (p<0.05).

It seems that this intervention can reduce cognitive-behavioral avoidance and increase self-care activities in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Alexithymia, as an inability to identify and describe feelings, has a significant relationship with blood glycemic control and quality of life in patient with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alexithymia and self-care activities on diabetes control indices in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This study was a cross-sectional investigation. Participants of the study included 100 patients with type 2 diabetic, referred to Labbafinejad Hospital. Information was collected through questionnaires of alexithymia, self-care activities and health-related quality of life. The glycated hemoglobin levels were also obtained in the laboratory by collecting blood samples. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software.
In order to assess the relationship between glycated hemoglobin, alexithymia, self-care activities and quality of life, a Pearson’s correlation analysis was used. The results showed that alexithymia had a significant positive correlation with HbA1c (0.44) and a significant negative correlation with self-care activities (-0.049) and quality of life (-0.47). Furthermore, alexithymia and self-care activities can predict the level of HbA1c and the quality of life in patients with diabetes. Among the aspects of alexithymia, difficulty in identifying feelings and objective thinking were predictors of HbA1c; also, difficulty in describing feelings was a predictor of patients’ quality of life.
Based on the results of study, alexithymia had an important role in explaining and predicting diabetes control indices. Therefore, consideration of the alexithymia role and other emotional and psychological problems in patients with type 2 diabetes may be important for planning the efficacy of interventions and treatments of diabetes.
