In diabetes, self-caring promotes the quality of life and reduces the number of hospitalization and with continuous of its pursuit, the acute and chronic side effects can be prevented. Self- efficacy is a basis to reinforce of self-caring in diabetes. The purpose of this study is assessment of relationship between perceived self-efficacy and self-care in diabetic patients. Materials & MethodsThis descriptive-analytical study was performed on 100 diabetic patients who referred to EmamKhomeiny Hospital, Urmia. They were selected by easy sampling. Data collection tools were demographic information, self-efficacy assessment using Confidence in Diabetes Self- Care Scale (CIDS) and self-care scale evaluation using Glasgow and Toobert measures for diabetes. Data analysis was performed by SPSS. Result: Results indicated that average score of self-efficacy among patients was 73.8± 18.3 and the average score of self-care was 83.9±16.2 .The most of the patients had an average score of selfefficacy and self-care. The spearman correlation coefficient showed a direct significant relationship between self-efficacy and self-care scores of patients. Conclusion: Patients’ beliefs about self-efficacy to the implementation of self-care and performing self-care behaviors were in medium rate. Since self-efficacy is the most important element to determine of self-care behaviors, it is necessary to promote the self-efficacy for increasing the selfcare behaviors and consequently, prevention of side effects of diabetes. Therefore educational program on self-efficacy for improving this skill among diabetic patients should be considered.
