  abstract: ABSTRACT: The aim of this mixed method study was first to construct a path model based on existing literatures and test the direct and indirect influence of diabetes self -efficacy, social support, expectation regarding aging, social-demographic factors (age, gender, education and employment status) and disease specific characteristics (diabetes duration, associated comorbidity, type of treatment) on diabetes self-care behaviors, the second aim was to enhance description of self-care behaviors of Nepalese adults with DM by exploring self-care strategies and context and culture specific motivating factors and/or barriers. Understanding the interrelated path among variables influencing diabetes self-care and gaining an in-depth understanding about the self-care strategies, barriers and boosters will provide evidence for planning specific and holistic nursing interventions. The participants in this study were Nepalese adults (40 years and above), who were diagnosed to have diabetes mellitus (DM) for over 6 month. A total of 230 sample were included in this study. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS version 21. For the qualitative component, using maximum variant sampling based on general demographic characteristics (age, gender, religion, education level and marital status) and disease characteristics (Treatment type, DM duration and Comorbidity) thirteen samples were recruited from the same subset. Qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis technique. The results are as follows: 1. The mean age of the participants was 56.9 years (ranger 40-88 years). The mean duration since diagnosis of DM was 8.7±6.7 years. Majority of the participants (74.3%) were on oral hypoglycemic agents for treatment of DM. 2. The total score of DM self-care was 3.6±.9. Medication/insulin intake was the most frequently performed behavior (6.7±1.1) and self-monitoring of blood glucose was the least performed behavior (.61±.93). 3. The DM self-efficacy score was 3.16±.75…
