Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common psychosomatic disorders and the third most common cause of death in the world. Psychological factors play an important role in causing and exacerbating its symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between quality of life and the therapeutic adherence and history of psychotherapy in patients with type 2 diabetes in Kashan city health centers.
Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes in Kashan and the sample size of this study was 165 patients in this city who were selected by convenient sampling. Research instruments were demographic form, adherence scale and short form of quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). Data analyzed through SPSS software version 20.
 
Results: The results indicate that there is no relationship between quality of life variable and demographic characteristics of type 2 diabetic patients but the history of drug therapy without psychotherapy has a significant and inverse relationship with quality of life. Also, the results of data analysis showed a direct and significant relationship between therapeutic adherence and quality of life.
 
Conclusion: The results showed the direct relationship between therapeutic adherence and quality of life and an inverse relationship between the history of non-psychotherapy and quality of life and a significant part of the success of treatment in the longtime depends on the adherence and the psychological aspects of the patient.
