Data sources: Medline, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL database were searched to identify relevant English studies published during 2005–2017. Data selection: The key words that have been used to search for relevant studies were type 2 diabetes, diabetes self-care behaviors, theory-based intervention, and the name of the behavior theories such as social cognitive theory, health belief model, and other theories. Because self-care and self-management are being used interchangeably in some literature, self-management was entered to obtain all relevant studies. Included studies were randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies. Outcome measures: The outcome was diabetes self-care behaviors. Results: Thirteen studies met all the inclusion criteria and had been reviewed and included in this systematic review. The interventions in eleven studies were based on one theory. Conclusion: Theory-based interventions are effective in enhancing diabetes self-care behaviors among patients with type 2 diabetes.}, URL ={https://www.clinicaltdd.com/article.asp?issn=2542-3975;year=2018;volume=3;issue=3;spage=88;epage=94;aulast=Al-Washali;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.clinicaltdd.com/article.asp?issn=2542-3975;year=2018;volume=3;issue=3;spage=88;epage=94;aulast=Al-Washali;t=6} }
