[Abstract] Objective To investigate the current status of psychological consistency among patients with type II diabetes and its correlation with anxiety and depression. Methods A total of 102 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled from March 2022 to February 2025. An observation group was established, and 50 individuals from a health examination population were recruited as volunteers to form a control group. The psychological consistency scales of the two groups were compared, and patients in the observation group were grouped based on their psychological consistency scores. The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores were compared across groups, and the correlation between psychological consistency scores and SDS/SAS scores was analyzed. Results The total scores for sense of value, comprehensibility, manageability, and psychological consistency in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Among the observation group, 47 cases had psychological consistency scores ≤ 63, classified as the low-level group; 55 cases had scores between 64 and 79, classified as the medium-level group; and there were no patients with scores ≥ 80 in the high-level group. The SDS scores and SAS scores of the low-level group were significantly higher than those of the medium-level group (P < 0.05). The psychological consistency scores of patients in the low-level group were negatively correlated with both the SDS scores and SAS scores (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with type II diabetes generally have moderate to low levels of psychological consistency, and psychological consistency is negatively correlated with anxiety and depression.
