using by SPSS software version 23, descriptive and correlation tests.
Results: The results showed there is a significant relationship between personality traits and coping styles
and self-care in type 2 diabetic patients. some personality traits and coping styles were able to predict diabetic
self-care. The relationship was meaningful between Diabetic self-care with Self-Directedness personality
trait (P <0.05, r = 0.023) and among coping styles, with social support seeking (P<0.001, r = 0.052) and
responsibility (r = 20-, P <0.05, ). Also, in current study, all personality traits, except reward dependency,
had a significant relationship with coping styles.
