Background/Significance: Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) is a major chronic condition worldwide. Among Saudi population, it is estimated that 25 % of Saudi adults have DMT2. Diabetes self-Management behaviors (DSMB) and health responsibility (HR) are crucial concepts for people with DMT2. DSMB and HR are influenced by a wide range of factors relate to individuals' demographic characteristics and perceived social support. Pender's Health promotion model (HPM) highlight the role of these factors in behaviors related to health such as DSM and HR. A significant gap exists regarding the relationship between individual characteristics and perceived social support on DSMB and HR among Saudi adults with DMT2. No studies were found in the literature where Pender's HPM was used as a framework to examine these relationships. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of selected demographic characteristics and perceived social support on DSMB and HR in Saudi Arabian people with DMT2. Theoretical framework: Based on Pender's HPM and the literature review relating to DSMB. Method: A cross-sectional, correlational design was used with a convenience sample of 98 Saudi people with DMT2 were recruited from University Diabetes Center (UDC), Riyadh. Data analysis: Involved descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviations, while multiple regression was also used. Findings: the participants' ages ranged from 18 to 73 years with an average age of 46.0 years (SD = 13.80). The regression model was not statistically significant. Thus, the hypothesis on the relationship between perceived social support, DSMB and HR were not supported. The findings showed that age was positively correlated with HR and diabetes duration. HR is positively correlated with DSMB and diabetes duration. The findings also showed that age, level of education, and marital status are significant predictors of HR of Saudi adult with DMT2. Conclusion: Although the findings were not statistically significant, still, the information obtained may provide important knowledge to the literature. The findings were based on participants' self-report and may result in an imprecise measurement of DSMB and HR. This study can be considered a pilot study. Thus, further longitudinal study may be conducted to discuss factors of DSMB and HR in patients with DMT2 over time. This study used a subscale from HPLP-II scale to measure HR, thus, integrating other health promoting behaviors dimension of; self-realization, physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relationships, and stress management, is suggested.
