Introduction: In addition to physical consequences, type 2 diabetes causes stress and reduces the sense of control over health and passion for life in patients. Accordingly, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group training in cognitive-behavioral stress management on the internal locus of control of health and passion for life in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of this study included patients with type 2 diabetes in Sari in 2024. 30 people were selected using a non-random sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control groups (15 people). The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC; Wallston et al., 1978) and the Passion for Life Questionnaire (PLQ; Hassanzadeh, 2010) were used to collect data. The experimental group received the intervention as a group for 8 90-minute sessions. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the groups in the variables of internal locus of control for health (F=94.04, P=0.01, η=0.77) and passion for life (F=20.97, P=0.01, η=0.43); in fact, the intervention had an effective role in increasing internal health locus of control and passion for life (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Overall, it can be concluded that cognitive-behavioral stress management group training approach was effective in improving the internal locus of control for health and passion for life in patients in patients with type 2 diabetes.
