For this purpose, 16 patients with type 1 diabetes, who were members of the Iranian Diabetes Society in Islamshahr, were randomly selected and divided into control and experimental groups. The subjects of the experimental group were trained in cognitive-behavioral techniques for 10 sessions, but the members of the control group were not trained. Before and after the implementation of the intervention, both groups were assessed by the Quality of Life questionnaire. The results of the analysis of covariance showed that cognitive-behavioral techniques had a significant effect on the physical and psychological dimensions of the quality of life however, no significant effect was observed on social and environmental dimensions.
