Abstract
This research has been conducted in order to explore the effect of self- efficacy on HbA1c control in case of the type 2 diabetic patients. During an quasi-experimental design of patients suffering type 2 diabetic, whom went through a two month treatment under supervision of a physician a in Mahabad, a simple of 60 patents were selected using a random voluntarily available design and randomization and grouped into two groups of Experimented (n=28) and control (n=30). Experimental groups participated in a course of self-efficacy through cognitive behavioral group method for 9 sessions of 45 minutes. To evaluate the effects of intervention, HbA1c test was conducted before the course, after the course and 3 months after the end of intervention. Resulted data were analyzed using Mixed ANOVA with repeated measures. HbA1c of experimental group decreased significantly after intervention, while the decrease of blood sugar was not significant. These findings remain stable during 3 month at follow up investigation and measurement. Self-efficacy training for HbA1c control in type 2 diabetic patients proved to be effective. Providing this type of training is recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived social support on adherence through resilience and hope in patients with type 2 diabetes. 234 patients with type 2 diabetes among files available with diagnosis type 2 diabetes in health center Lamerd were selected by simple random sampling method. Participants were asked to complete Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Hope Scale, Resilience Scale and General Adherence Scale. Structural equation modeling through AMOS-16 software packages were used for data analysis. Analysis of structural equation modeling indicated that default model don’t fit for data and require to improvement. As a result, by eliminating non-significant routes final model fit to the data was confirmed. Other analyses revealed that the support of friends and other important people support were able to predict resiliency. As well the support of friends and other important people support indirectly predicted resilience through adherence. Hope also hadn’t a role mediating variable in the model. The findings of this study can be concluded that the resilience can be reinforced as the mediator variable effect of perceived social support (eg, support of friends and other important people support) on adherence to treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of positive psychology intervention on self-care and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in women with type 2 diabetes. This quasi-experimental study utilized a pretest-posttest design with a control group. A total of 30 women with type 2 diabetes who visited the endocrinology department of Shahid Dr. Labbafi Nejad Hospital between June and July 2024 were randomly selected. Participants were then randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups using Microsoft Excel. The experimental group received positive psychology intervention for eight weekly sessions (90 minutes each), while the control group received routine hospital care. Data were collected using the Diabetes Self-Care Scale and HbA1c measurements at three time points: baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 and multivariate repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA). The results indicated a significant increase in self-care scores in the intervention group compared to the control group. Additionally, the experimental group showed a significant reduction in HbA1c levels compared to the control group. These findings suggest that positive psychology intervention can be an effective approach to improving self-care behaviors and reducing HbA1c levels in women with type 2 diabetes.
