Popis: Introduction: Basic conditioning factors can influence the self-care behaviors, and it is necessary to perform self-care behaviors in order to prevent diabetes complications and improve the quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of basic conditioning factors on self-care behaviors of the patients with type 2 diabetes who referred to Yazd Research Center. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 95 patients with type 2 diabetes, systematically selected, were investigated. A questionnaire developed by the researcher, including 25 tests of which the reliability and validity were ascertained, was used in this study. The data were analyzed using SPSS (16), through conducting independent t-test, one way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Results: The mean for self-care behaviors of the patients with diabetes was 6/53+7/11. The results indicated that the lowest scores of the patients' self-care were gotten in blood sugar testing and physical activity, as well as the highest scores were gotten in foot care and nutrition parts. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of self-care of the patients with different gender, age, adequacy of income and employment, educational status, complication arising and other chronic diseases, as well as the duration of the disease (p < 0/05). Conclusion: In order to promote self-care behaviors, the effectiveness of the demographic factors such as age, gender, educational status, adequacy of income and employment should be considered. The health care centers also should give the patients some essential information about basic conditioning factors.
