This qualitative study tried to describe psychosocial distressfulness of patients with type 2 diabetes to manage the self-care regimens. Each patient was informed and asked to have an interview. Data collection consisted of unstructured interviews in which ten patients with type 2 diabetes talked about their distressfulness associated with their diabetes. The interviews were performed by five nurses who experienced for two to eleven years in the care of diabetes and the researcher. The interviews were recorded on tapes and analyzed refering to Krippendorffs content analysis. Content analysis identified the following categories: hunger, taste-craving, no way to express, eyes on diabetic, nervous about others, guilt for leftovers, losses, loneliness & alienation, relationship with healthcare professionals, self-censure, self-dissatisfaction. The results of the analysis showed that the patients are having various distressfulness in their daily life following their self-care regimens, and the aspects and the degree of distressfulness a patient feel differ from those others feel even in the same condition. Those of distressfulness seemed to be affected each other and be related to how the patient perform their self-care regimens. Based on these findings, some interventions were suggested for the health care professionals to use with patients with type 2 diabetes.
