Mediating role of self-compassion influences psychological well-being and self-care in diabetes, suggesting important care strategies.

To explore how self-compassion influences the relationship between HbA1c levels and psychological outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Sample of 368 individuals with type 2 diabetes in northern Iran.
Used validated psychometric instruments like SDSCA, RSPWB, and SCS-SF.
HbA1c levels measured within the past 3 months.
Data analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS-24 and bootstrapping analysis.
HbA1c negatively correlated with self-compassion, psychological well-being, and self-care behaviors (all P<0.01).
Self-compassion positively correlated with psychological well-being and self-care behaviors (both P<0.01).
Self-compassion significantly mediated the impact of HbA1c on psychological well-being and self-care behaviors (both P<0.001).
The structural model showed a good fit with the data.
