“…Most studies of coping with T2DM within the Bedouin communities in Israel employ the biomedical approach. According to this approach, which frames medical knowledge as objective and value-free, e.g., [ 8 , 14 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], coping and treatment outcomes are under the responsibility of the individual. According to this approach, negative treatment outcomes or complications are the result of the individual’s lack of compliance with medical advice.…”

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is disproportionally prevalent among the Bedouin minority in Israel, with especially poor treatment outcomes compared to other indigenous groups. This study uses the perspective of the Bedouins themselves to explore the distinct challenges they face, as well as their coping strategies. The study is based on an interpretive interactionist analysis of 49 semi-structured interviews with Bedouin men and women. The findings of the analysis include three themes. First, physical inequality: the Bedouin community’s way of coping is mediated by the transition to a semi-urban lifestyle under stressful conditions that include the experience of land dispossession and the rupture of caring relationships. Second, social inequality: they experience an inaccessibility to healthcare due to economic problems and a lack of suitable informational resources. Third, unique resources for coping with T2DM: interviewees use elements of local culture, such as religious practices or small enclaves of traditional lifestyles, to actively cope with T2DM. This study suggests that there is a need to expand the concept of active coping to include indigenous culture-based ways of coping (successfully) with chronic illness.

“…The capability and power of acceptance of the situation are personality factors that affect patients' conditions and enhance their ability to deal with problems, including diseases. According to the studies conducted, the most significant factor leading to the mortality of diabetic patients is the lack of self-care (Akbari et al, 2020;da Rocha et al, 2020;Jalali et al, 2023). On the other hand, these individuals' assessment of their ability to cope with stress is low.…”

“…Patients with diabetes who use a problemfocused strategy deal with the disease realistically and logically. These individuals make more use of past experiences, are more realistic, and seek information and consultation with others to solve their problem, which helps them adapt to the disease (Akbari et al, 2020;Bassi et al, 2021). Furthermore, according to studies in this area, individuals who use a problem-focused coping strategy think more about positive aspects and points than negative and dark ones, which likely greatly helps them strengthen their adaptive spirit and reduce stress from diabetes.…”

“…Gregoria et al (2018) found in their study that poor metabolic control and low quality of life in diabetic individuals are significantly associated with the greater use of emotion-focused coping methods. Problem-focused coping methods are positively associated with better metabolic control and higher quality of life in diabetic individuals (Akbari et al, 2020;Mojahed et al, 2019).…”

Objective: The objective of the present research was to explain the structural model for quality of life based on early maladaptive schemas and the role of treatment adherence and coping strategies in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods and Materials: This study, in terms of research methodology, falls into the category of descriptive-correlational research using structural equation modeling. The research population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes in Tehran who visited medical centers during the year 2021. The sample of the current study included 350 patients with type 2 diabetes in Tehran in 2021, selected through convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. Data were collected using the short form of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, Young's Early Maladaptive Schemas Short Form Questionnaire, Treatment Adherence Questionnaire, and Young's Avoidance Coping Strategies Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Pearson correlation statistical methods, employing SPSS 22 and AMOS 22 software. Findings: The results showed that the fit indices PCFI=0.655, PNFI=0.661, CMIN/DF=2.90, RMSEA=0.089, IFI=0.917, CFI=0.914, and GFI=0.903 indicate a good fit of the proposed model with the data. The highest coefficient (-0.47) was attributed to the path from autonomy and impaired performance to quality of life. The coefficient of determination for the quality variable of marital relationship in the proposed structural model is 0.889, indicating that the external variables can predict 89 percent of the variance in quality of life, which is considered strong. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that the structural model for explaining quality of life based on early maladaptive schemas and the role of treatment adherence and coping strategies in patients with type 2 diabetes fits appropriately.

“…he role of personality traits, specifically Type D personality and locus of control, in influencing selfcare behaviors has garnered substantial attention in the literature. Type D personality, characterized by negative affectivity and social inhibition, has consistently been associated with suboptimal self-care practices in individuals with chronic conditions (Akbari et al, 2020;Park et al, 2020;Shao et al, 2017). Patients with this personality type often exhibit poorer self-care behaviors, notably in diabetes and heart failure contexts, suggesting a direct impact of psychological traits on health management effectiveness (Dadras et al, 2022;Lin et al, 2020).…”

This study aimed to examine the predictive role of Type D personality and locus of control on self-care behaviors among adults, particularly those managing chronic health conditions. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 370 participants through standardized instruments measuring Type D personality, locus of control, and self-care behaviors. Linear regression analysis was performed using SPSS-27 to assess the predictive relationships between the variables. The results indicated that both Type D personality and locus of control significantly predict self-care behaviors, accounting for 33% of the variance in self-care engagement. Specifically, Type D personality and an external locus of control were associated with poorer self-care practices. The study underscores the significant influence of psychological factors on self-care behaviors. Tailored interventions that consider individuals' psychological profiles may enhance self-care practices, particularly among those with chronic health conditions.
