The role of perceived social support and emotional regulation styles in predicting psychological well-being in people with diabetes

Diabetes is one of the most common and chronic diseases. According to this point, the purpose of this study was to predict psychological well-being based on perceived social support and emotional regulation styles in people with diabetes. The population consisted of all diabetic patients referred to health centers of Research Institute of Endocrine Sciences, Red Crescent Therapy of Tehran Pars, Taban Clinic in West Township. The statistical sample was estimated to be 210 by the Green formula. Samples were from Tehran patients, which were selected through selective and targeted sampling; the research tool was RSPWB-SF psychological well-being questionnaire, Garnowski's Cognitive Emotion Regulation (2001), and Social Assistant of Wax et al (SS-A). Statistical method: Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the fit of the model was confirmed with chi 2/df = 2/24, TLI/NNFI= 0/92, CFI= 0/93, IFI = 0/93, GFI = 0/86, and NFI = 0/89. It was also shown that the family support variables (t = 13/06, r = 0/56) and friends support (t = 12/12, r = 0/44) can assess psychological well-being with p < 0.05. Among the emotional adjustment styles, rumination variables (T = -12 / 42, r = -0 / 46), blame for others (T = -15 / 15, r = -0 / 65) and positive evaluation (T = 13 / 46, r = 0 /58) can assess psychological wellbeing with p < 0.05. The rumination variables (T = -8 / 38, r = -0 / 31), catastrophic (T = -9 / 98, r = -0 / 38), blame others (T = -14 / 25, r = -0/62) and positive evaluation (T = 12/97, r = 0/55) can evaluate friends support with p<0.05. In this regard, rumination variables (r = 9/42, r = -0/35), disaster (T = -10 / 35, r = -0 / 4), blame others (T = -9 / 64, r = -0/35), positive re-focus (T = 12 / 26, r = 0/5) and positive evaluation (T = 10/05, r = 0/39) can also evaluate family support with p<0.05. As a result, the structural model of prediction of psychological well-being can be evaluated based on the role of interfaces of perceived social. support by emotional adjustment styles in people with diabetes.
