The questionnaire consisted of a patient information form, sexual quality of life scale-female, and diabetes self-management perception scale.ResultsThere was a significant relationship between diabetes self-management perception and sexual quality of life (P = 0.000). The individuals' diabetes self-management perception scores differed significantly according to their age (F = 3.12; P = 0.047), and the sexual quality of life scores differed significantly according to their treatment type (F = 4.01; P = 0.020).ConclusionThere is a relationship between quality of sexual life and self-management perceptions of women with type 2 DM.
