The study also aims to detect the correlation between psychological hardiness and health behavior among a sample of 205 individuals from diabetic patients (70 malesand135 females), were chosen in purposive sampling method from the house of diabetes in public hospital Mohamed Boudiaf Ouargla.

We have formulated hypotheses considering the duration of the disease and sex as follows: there is a significant correlation between psychological hardiness and health behavior in patients with diabetes; there are statistically significant differences in psychological hardiness and health behavior in patients with diabetes according to the duration of the disease.

There are also statistically significant differences in psychological hardiness and health behavior in patients with diabetes according to sex.

We used the correlative descriptive approach to achieve the study objectives using several methods of data collection and analysis through appropriate statistical methods to prove or reject the study hypotheses.

The study resulted in the presence of statistically significant correlation between psychological hardiness and health behavior in patients with diabetes, and there are statistically significant differences in psychological hardiness and health behavior in patients with diabetes according to the duration of the disease, while there were not statistically significant differences in the psychological hardiness and health behavior in diabetic patients according to sex.
