Abstract
Background: In these unprecedented times, individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) may face challenges in managing their self-care due to various factors that can negatively impact their quality of life. This can lead to a decline in their physical and mental health and affect different aspects of their lives in adverse ways. Aims of the Study: This Study investigates the relationship between self-care management and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methodology: This Study utilized a descriptive research method. It was conducted from 22/10/2022 to 14/12/2022. A non-probability sample of 50 patients with T2DM who received treatment at the Teshreen Teaching Hospital during this period was selected. Two questionnaires were administered to gather data. Descriptive statistics, such as frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation, were used for data analysis, and inferential statistics, such as the contingency coefficient, were used for data analysis. Results: The Study found that while most participants had excellent self-care, their quality of life was only moderate. There was no significant relationship between self-care and quality of life. Conclusion: The Study discovered no significant correlation between the level of self-care management and the quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, to improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with type 2 diabetes, it is essential to adopt a multifaceted approach. One must follow recommendations such as regular exercise and a balanced diet to promote general health and improve the quality of life of these patients
