Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between social support, health knowledge, and psychological wellbeing and their impact on the psychological adjustment of diabetic patients in Libya. A quantitative descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, and data were collected from a purposive sample of 103 participants using a structured online questionnaire covering three core dimensions: psychological adjustment, social support, and health knowledge. Data were analyzed using SPSS through independent samples T-tests, Pearson correlations, and linear regression analysis.

The results revealed statistically significant differences between males and females in social support and health knowledge, but not in psychological adjustment. Strong positive correlations were found between all variables, and the regression model accounted for 49% of the variance in psychological adjustment. The study recommends integrating psychological, social, and cognitive components into diabetes care programs and expanding future research to include economic and sociocultural factors
