fa پژوهشی اصيل Original Research <strong>Aims</strong>: Several studies have shown controversy over the effectiveness of various educational methods. This study was performed with the aim of comparing the effect of face-to-face education and educational booklet on health-related quality of life in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes.<br> <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>In this clinical trial study, which was conducted in 2017, 120 patients qualified to enter the study were selected by random sampling; they were randomly allocated to 3 groups, including, face-to-face group, education through booklet, and control group. The data were collected through Diabetes Quality of Life-Brief Clinical Inventory (DQL-BCI). Patients in the two intervention groups were presented with materials with the same educational content, but different teaching methods. The data were analyzed by SPSS 21, using Chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, paired t-test, and Tukey&#39;s post hoc test.<br> <strong>Findings:</strong> Before intervention, mean score of health-related quality of life in patients in the 3 groups was not statistically significant (p=0.1). After intervention, there was a significant difference between the mean score of health-related quality of life of patients in intervention groups and control group (p=0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the patients in face-to-face and education through booklet groups (p>0.05).<br> <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The effect of face-to-face education and educational booklet on health-related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes is the same.
