Objective: Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that emotional problems can interfere with its treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (RCBT) and resilience training in expressing emotion in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and control group. Among type 2 diabetic patients referred to comprehensive health care centers by purposive sampling, 45 people were selected as the final sample and then randomly selected in simple Three groups of 15 people including two experimental groups and one control group were assigned. One experimental group received 10 sessions of 60 minutes of RCBT and the other group received 9 sessions of 60 minutes of resilience training. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and benferroni test. Findings: The results showed that there was a difference between the experimental groups and the control group in the post-test of expression of emotion with the control of the pre-test at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Also, there is no difference between religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and resilience training at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and resilience training is effective in increasing the expression of emotion in diabetic patients and can be useful as an adjunctive therapy for diabetic patients.
