Non-prescriptive strategies such as self-efficacy promotion are recommended in order to achieve the appropriate level of HbA1c. In results of previous studies there is an inconsistence between self-efficacy and HbA1c level, therefore this article performed with purpse of determining the relationship between self- efficacy and HbA1c level in adolescents with type I diabetes refering to Mashhad Parsian center of diabetes.
Methods: This descriptive - analytical study performed on convenience 70 young people with the age range of12to18 who were diagnosed with type I diabetes referring to Parsian Diabetes Center of diabetes.Data collected through questionnaires of demographic information and insulin-dependent diabetes management self-efficacy scale (IDMSE) and taken blood samples to measurement levels of HbA1c. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 11.5 with descriptive and analytic test.Result: Pearson correlation test results showed that there was an inverse and significant relationship between self-efficacy and HbA1c (r= -0.60, p
