Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic and common disease of the endocrine glands that puts patients at risk for emotional disorders, so given the negative effects of these two structures on the process of controlling and treating diabetes, psychological interventions seem necessary. Therefore, the authors conducted the present study to evaluate the effectiveness of Moritz-based metacognitive training on fasting blood sugar levels and the difficulty of regulating the excitement of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The research method was pre-test-post-test with a control group. Of the women with type 2 diabetes, 50 women with type 2 diabetes were assigned to two experimental (25) and control (25) groups based on convenience sampling. Research instruments included difficulty scaling (2004, DERS) and blood tests. After conducting the pre-test, the Moritz-based metacognitive training sessions group received eight 90-minute weekly sessions, and the control group was placed on the waiting list. Data were analyzed by repeated measurement of variance and Bonferroni follow-up test.
Results: By adjusting the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference (p<0.001) between the experimental and control groups in the fasting blood sugar variable, and emotion regulation strategies including not accepting emotional responses, difficulty in conducting purposeful behavior, limited access to emotional regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity in the post-test stage.
Conclusion: Moritz-based metacognitive training can be used to reduce fasting blood sugar levels and the difficulty of regulating the excitement of people with diabetes.
