Abstract: Background: Chronic illness care is an important factor for health promotion in diabetes since it affects health outcomes such as quality of life. Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care and the quality of life in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional and correlational design. The sample included 317 patients with type 2 diabetes. A socio-demographic and disease-related questionnaire form, the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) scale and the WHOQOL-BREF Quality of Life Scale were used to collect data. Results: According to the regression analysis, the stronger predictor affecting all domains of quality of life was the overall PACIC. This study demonstrated the importance of satisfaction level of chronic illness care in the improvement of quality of life. Therefore, the factors affecting the satisfaction level with chronic care services should be determined to improve the quality of life of patients. In addition, healthcare based on the chronic-care model should be provided in the care of the patients. Conclusions: PACIC had an important effect on quality of life of the patients. This study demonstrated the importance of satisfaction level on chronic illness care in the improvement of quality of life.
