Objective: The current study aimed to explore the impact of personality types on individuals with diabetes and hypertension, as well as those without these conditions.
Methods: A causal-historical research approach was employed to compare 50 patients with diabetes and high blood pressure to 50 individuals without these conditions. Participants were recruited from various clinics and private offices in Zarin Shahr. The assessment tools utilized included personality type questionnaires C and D. Multivariate analysis of variance was conducted to evaluate the research hypotheses.
Results: The outcomes of the current study indicate a notable distinction in C personality type scores (T=4.45, P<0.001) between individuals with type 1 diabetes and those without diabetes (T=9.52, P<0.001), as well as between individuals with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic individuals (T=5.45, P<0.0001). Additionally, a significant difference is noted between individuals with type 1 diabetes and non-diabetic individuals in personality type D scores (T=4.96, P < 0.001), while no significant difference is found between individuals with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic individuals in personality type D scores (T = 1.56, P < 0.05). Similarly, there is no significant difference between individuals with hypertension and non-hypertensive individuals in D personality type scores (T = 1.64, P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Overall, the results provide evidence supporting the association between personality types and diabetes as well as high blood pressure.
