The purpose of this study was to identify differences in the personality type, diabetes-related distress, and diabetes self-management among older adults with type 2 diabetes. The data of 180older adults was collected at S Senior Center from between August 14 and October 14, 2012. There were significant differences in self-management between individual personality types(p<.001). These lf-management level was lower in the dominance personality type than in the steadiness and conscientiousness types. In particular, foot care subunit self-management was significantly lower in the dominance personality than in the other personality types(p<.001). Moreover, dominan cepersonality was the most important factors influencing diabetes self-management negatively. Usinghypogly cemic agent and drinking also influence on diabetes self-management negatively(modifiedR2=16%). Therefore, when we provide intervention to the older adults with type 2 diabetes, weshould consider their personality type and check whether using hypoglycemic agent and drinkingalcohol or not. Furthermore, we need to develop intervention program focus on the older adults with dominance personality type, using hypoglycemic agent and having drinking behavior
