This study examines how different coping strategies affect the quality of life in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Cross-sectional study conducted in Bushehr, using multistage sampling with 384 participants aged 60 and older.
Data collected via demographic questionnaires, CISS-21, and SF-12 surveys.
Binary logistic regression analysis performed to assess relationships between coping strategies and quality of life.
43% of participants primarily used problem-focused coping strategies, 40.9% used emotion-focused, and 16.1% used avoidance strategies.
Problem-focused strategy is associated with improved quality of life (OR = 0.671, 95% CI [0.610–0.739]).
Emotion-focused (OR = 1.254, 95% CI [1.153–1.364]) and avoidance strategies (OR = 1.145, 95% CI [1.046–1.253]) are linked to poorer quality of life.
