This study investigated the predictive roles of experiential avoidance on the relationship between death anxiety and health-related quality of life among diabetic patients. A total of one hundred and five (105) participants (62; 58.5% females) participated in the study. The participant ages ranged from 21-75 years with a mean age of 53.45 and a standard deviation of 14.44. Participants were drawn using the convenience sampling technique and were administered the questionnaires before their consultations. Three instruments were used in data collation namely; the Death Anxiety Inventory-Revised (DAI-R), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ), and the Diabetes Quality of Life Questionnaire (DQOLQ). Four hypotheses were tested and the results showed that there was no significant correlation between death anxiety and HRQoL (r=-.036), also, experiential avoidance didn’t significantly predict HRQoL (.411, p<.05), experiential avoidance didn’t significantly predict death anxiety (.534, p<.05), while experiential avoidance didn’t predict the relationship between death anxiety and HRQoL (.757, p<.05). The researchers suggest that medical professionals in charge of diabetic patients should look beyond HRQoL and death anxiety in investigating whether there will be an occurrence of experiential avoidance.

IntroductionRecently, researchers have increased their recognition on the need to understand employees' psychological contract. The recognition has been driven by various changes, namely: economic and political environments, workforce demographics and values of individuals (Lester and . In any case these contracts are breached; the psyche and the overall wellbeing of the employee might be grossly affected. The above assertion is in line with the thoughts of Robinson, Kraatz and Rousseau (1994), where he opined that psychological contract reflects an individual's belief or perception that some forms of promise or reciprocal obligations have been made between the two parties, namely, the employee and employer. That is to say that the psychological contract encompasses an individual's perception of how
