Background:Frequency of mood disorders in patients with chronic diseases, especially diabetes and its effects on life quality are dramatically increasing.Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the relation between depression and quality of life in patients with diabetes.Patients and Methods:This is a cross sectional survey. Subjects were selected from 330 eligible people referred to the only diabetes clinic in Gorgan City during 6 months, using systematic random sampling. Beak Depression questionnaire and the brief questioner with 26 questions recommended by the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to measure depression and quality of life, respectively. Data were analyzed through descriptive methods, Chi-square, Independent t test and linear regression model using SPSS16; moreover, P value < 0.05 was considered as significant.Results:In total, 330 patients with diabetes (35.5 % male and 64.5% women) were studied. The mean and standard deviation of their age and years involved with diabetes were 50.6 ± 9.0 and 5.4 ± 4.5 years, respectively. Range of age was 25 - 75 years, as well. The prevalence of depression in all patients with diabetes was 58.2% (124 mild, 56 medium, and 12 with severe depression). Hypertension was 13.9% more in diabetic patients with depression (P value < 0.001) and physical activity in 24.7% of the cases was less with a meaningful difference (P value = 0.01). The mean and standard deviation of quality of life in diabetic patients with and without depression was 50.7 ± 14 and 60.5 ± 13.3, respectively that was significant in two groups (P < 0.0001).Conclusions:The prevalence of depression is high in patients with diabetes and has a considerable impact on the consequences of diabetes and quality of life too.

Datas were collected by demographic, Beck Anxiety Inventory & WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires . Tables, Diagrams, Central & dispersion indices were used to describe the Datas. Chi square used for estimating the comparison of QOL between 2 groups . Pearson correlation coefficient also used to demonstrate the relation between QOL and BAI .results and the applied hardware for this purpose was SPSS.(p value = 0/005)ResultsIn this study 35/45% were male and 64/54% were female, There was no significant correlation between anxiety with independent factors.
