Introduction: Type II diabetes is one of the chronic diseases, and diabetes distress is one of the psychological factors affecting its management. Therefore, this study was performed to compare the effectiveness of self-healing with mindfulness-integrated cognitive behavior therapy on diabetes distress and control of glycemic in type II diabetic patients
Methods: This semi-experimental research was conducted on 60 people with type II diabetes who were selected purposefully. People were randomly divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The intervention groups received twelve 90-minute sessions (one session per week) of mindfulness-integrated cognitive behavior therapy and self-healing. The research tools were Polonsky et al.'s Diabetes Distress Scale (2005), which has content validity and reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87, and laboratory equipment to measure hemoglobin glycoside. The data were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measurements and post hoc tests in SPSS-24 software.
Results: Between the two methods of intervention, only self-healing could effectively reduce glycosidic hemoglobin (P≤0.01). Moreover, both methods of intervention reduced diabetes distress; however, the effect of self-healing remained stable over time (P≤0.01).
Conclusion: The results indicated that self-healing was able to reduce hemoglobin glycoside in addition to diabetes distress and its effect remained constant over time. It is suggested to investigate the effect of self-healing in other areas related to diabetes.
