Introduction: Despite advancements in scientific research and improvements in medical treatments, individuals with chronic conditions such as type 1 diabetes are living longer than ever before. However, they face significant challenges related to mental health and adaptation. This study aimed to predict health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on health anxiety, diabetes self-management, and emotional self-awareness, with emotion regulation as a mediating variable among adolescents with type I diabetes.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study included 250 adolescents diagnosed with type I diabetes from Isfahan province, selected through convenience sampling based on pre-defined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1992), the Health Anxiety Questionnaire (Salkovskis & Warwick, 2002), the Diabetes Self-Management Scale (Schmitt et al., 2013), the Emotional Awareness Questionnaire (Grant et al., 2002), and the Emotion Regulation Scale (Garnefski et al., 2001). The data were analyzed using SPSS 24 and AMOS 21 software at both descriptive and inferential levels.
Results: The findings indicated that health anxiety, diabetes self-management, and emotional self-awareness were significantly correlated with emotion regulation, collectively explaining 29% of the variance in this construct. Furthermore, emotion regulation and emotional self-awareness were significantly associated with HRQoL, together accounting for 49% of the variance in this outcome.
Conclusion: The results suggest that improving emotion regulation through interventions targeting health anxiety, diabetes self-management, and emotional self-awareness may enhance HRQoL in adolescents with type I diabetes. This, in turn, could promote better mental health and help mitigate the complications associated with type I diabetes.
