ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Tip 2 diabetes mellitus hastalarının diyete uyum düzeyleri, kişilik özellikleri ve hedonistik yeme davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmanın örneklemini, 18 Aralık-31 Mart 2024 tarihleri arasında bir devlet hastanesinin dahiliye servislerinde yatarak tedavi gören 173 Tip 2 diabetes mellitus tanısı alan hasta oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri, kişisel bilgi formu, On Maddeli Kişilik Özelliği Ölçeği (OMKÖÖ) ve Hedonistik Yeme Ölçeği (HYÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler bilgisayar ortamında SPSS® yazılım sürümü 21.0 paket programı kullanılarak uygun istatistik yöntemler ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hastaların %56,6'sı kadın, %81,8'i evli ve yaşları ortalama 52,88±11,85 yıldır. Hastaların %44,8'i 5 yıl önce tanı almış ve %49'u diyete uyumunu kısmen iyi olarak tanımlamıştır. Hastaların HYÖ puanı ortalama 48,54±14,35'tir. Diyete uyumu kötü (52,78±13,90) ve iyi olanların HYÖ puanları (sırasıyla ortalama 52,78±13,90; 42,45±13,39) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0,009). Hastaların diyete uyumu ile OMKÖÖ alt boyutları arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır. Hastaların hedonistik yeme davranışları ile OMKÖÖ alt boyutlarında duygusal dengelilik alt boyutu ile sorumluluk alt boyut arasında pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (R=0,252, p=0,002; R=0,220, p=0,008). Sonuç: Diyabet hastalarının, duygusal dengeyi sağlayabilme özellikleri ile sağlığa ilişkin sorumluluk özellikleri hedonistik yeme davranışlarını etkilemektedir. Ayrıca daha sık hedonistik yeme davranışı gösteren diyabet hastalarının diyete uyumu da olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Diyabet hastalarının diyete uyumunu sağlamada, her hasta için en iyi strateji, hastanın kişisel özellikleri, yeme davranışları ve yaşam koşulları göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between dietary adherence, personality traits, and hedonistic eating behaviors in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Material and Methods: The sample of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consists of 173 patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized in the internal medicine wards of a state hospital between December 18 and March 31, 2024. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the TenItem Personality Inventory (TIPI), and the Hedonistic Eating Scale (HES). The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods with the IBM SPSS® version 21.0 software package. Results: Among the participants, 56.6% were female, 81.8% were married, and the mean age was 52.88±11.85 years. Of the patients, 44.8% were diagnosed five years ago, and 49% described their dietary adherence as moderately good. The mean HES score of the patients was 48.54±14.35. A statistically significant difference was found in HES scores between those with poor (52.78±13.90) and good diet adherence (42.45±13.39) (p=0.009). No significant difference was observed between diet adherence (42.45±13.39) (p=0.009). No significant difference was observed between observed adherence and TIPI subdimensions. A weak positive relationship was identified between hedonistic eating behaviors and the emotional stability (R=0.252, p=0.002) and conscientiousness (R=0.220, p=0.008) subdimensions of the TIPI. (R=0.252, p=0.002; R=0.220, p=0.008). Conclusion: Emotional stability and conscientiousness traits of diabetes patients influence their hedonic eating behaviors. Furthermore, frequent hedonic eating behaviors. Negatively affect diet adherence in diabetes patients. The best strategy to ensure diet adherence should be tailored to each patient, considering their personal characteristics, eating behaviors, and living conditions.
