Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Lifestyle Improvement Training on Anxiety and Self-Care in Women with Diabetes

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of cognitive-behavioral lifestyle improvement training on reducing anxiety and enhancing self-care in women with diabetes. The study utilized an experimental method. Initially, a sample of women with diabetes was selected and randomly divided into two groups. The first group received cognitive-behavioral lifestyle improvement training, and the second group served as the control. Subsequently, the levels of anxiety and self-care in women from both groups were measured before and after the training. Findings indicate that cognitive-behavioral lifestyle improvement training had a positive effect on reducing anxiety in women with diabetes. Additionally, self-care in the first group significantly increased. These results suggest that cognitive-behavioral lifestyle improvement training can be an effective method in reducing anxiety and enhancing self-care in women with diabetes. In conclusion, the importance of cognitive-behavioral lifestyle improvement training for reducing anxiety and enhancing self-care in women with diabetes is discussed, and the positive impact of this training on reducing anxiety levels and increasing self-care is confirmed. This study demonstrates that attention to a healthy lifestyle and its improvement can lead to significant improvements in the lives of women with diabetes.
