Thirty patients with type 2 diabetes, referred to Sari medical centers, were selected through non-random convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group (15 participants each). Both groups completed measures of treatment adherence (Modanloo, 2013), self-efficacy (Sherer et al., 1982), and emotion dysregulation (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). The experimental group received 90-minute sessions of mindfulness therapy once a week for eight weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Post-intervention assessments were conducted for both groups. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis and SPSS version 22 software.</p> <p><strong>Findings: </strong>The results indicated significant improvements in treatment adherence (F=154.84, p<0.001), self-efficacy (F=59.45, p<0.001), and emotion regulation (F=144.42, p<0.001) in patients with type 2 diabetes following mindfulness therapy.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Mindfulness therapy appears to enhance treatment adherence, self-efficacy, and emotion regulation in patients with type 2 diabetes.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
