Objective: Type 2 diabetes is conceptualized as a complex interaction of psycho-physiological factors and consideringthe factors against this chronic disease is necessary. Accordingly, the present study aimed to compare the effectivenessof emotional regulation training and autogenic training on the perceived anxiety control in women with type 2 diabetes.Method: Using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design, 33 women with type 2 diabetes wereselected by purposive sampling from Tehran and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one controlgroup. Members of each experimental group received emotional regulation training and autogenic training in ten90-minute sessions, separately. All respondents were asked to answer the demographic information and the PerceivedAnxiety Control Questionnaire (ACQ) before and after interventions. To analyze data, MANOVA and Schefee posthoc test were used.Result: The results of the analysis showed that both interventions were effective in increasing the perceived anxietycontrol (p <0.05); however, the difference between the two groups was not significant (p> 0.05).Conclusion: Explaining the effectiveness of the interventions, it can be said that both interventions were able toincrease the perceived anxiety control through special techniques, hence using them along with medical treatments isrecommended.
