Aim: To examine the relationship between barriers experienced by individuals with type 2 diabetes during insulin treatment and theirself-care behaviors.Material and Methods: It is descriptive, cross-sectional, and exploratory in nature. It was conducted between December 2021 and May2022 with individuals (n:215) receiving services at the outpatient clinics and inpatient section of a state hospital located in the centerof Ankara. Data were collected using face-to-face interviews with the Patient Information Form, the Barriers to Insulin TreatmentQuestionnare (BITQ), and the Diabetes Self-Care Scale (DSCS). Data were analyzed using number, percentage, mean, standard deviation,Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis.Results: A weak positive correlation was found between the DSCS total score average and the expectation of positive results related toinsulin (r=0.138, p=0.044) and fear of hypoglycemia (r=0.177, p=0.009), and a weak negative correlation was found between the subscaleof expected difficulties in insulin treatment (r=-0.251, p

Amaç: Tip 2 diyabetli bireylerin insülin tedavi sürecinde yaşadıkları engeller ve öz bakım davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve ilişki arayıcı tiptedir. Aralık 2021-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında Ankara il merkezinde yeralan bir devlet hastanesinin poliklinik ve yataklı servislerde hizmet alan bireylerle (n=215) yürütülmüştür. Veriler yüzyüze görüşmeyöntemiyle Hasta Tanıtım Formu, İnsülin Tedavisinde Engeller Ölçeği (İTEÖ) ve Diyabet Öz Bakım Ölçeği (DÖBÖ) kullanılaraktoplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, Pearson korelasyon analizi, multiple linear regresyon analizikullanılmıştır.Bulgular: DÖBÖ toplam puan ortalaması ile İnsülinle İlişkili Olumlu Sonuç Beklentisi (r=0,138; p=0,044) ve Hipoglisemi Korkusuarasında pozitif yönde zayıf (r=0,177; p=0,009), İnsülin Tedavisinde Beklenen Zorluk alt boyutu ile negatif yönde zayıf ilişki (r=-0,251;p=
