Download or read book The Relation Between Family Functioning Health related Quality of Life and Metabolic Control in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes written by Kelly A. Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between family functioning, health-related quality of life, and metabolic control in order to identify areas for intervention that can improve medical and psychosocial outcomes for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Children (N = 45) ages 8-17, both male and female, with type 1 diabetes, along with one caregiver (parent or legal guardian) (N = 45) were asked to complete the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) generic and diabetes-specific form to assess health-related quality of life along with the Diabetes Family Behavior Checklist and the Family Relationship Index of the Family Environment Scale to assess family functioning. Recent Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) was obtained from the physician at their visit or by parent report to assess metabolic control. Results indicated a significant relationship with poorer metabolic control relating to poorer physical health-related quality of life, as reported by children. All reports indicated a significant correlation between metabolic control and both general and diabetes specific health-related quality of life. There was a significant relationship with mother ̓s educational level on the outcome variables; educational level was therefore used as a control variable in all regression analyses. Child-reported general family functioning accounted for a significant amount of variance in child reported general health-related quality of life. Parent score on the non-supportive scale for diabetes specific family functioning accounted for a significant amount of variance in parent reported general health-related quality of life and diabetes specific health-related quality of life for their child. Results demonstrated the importance of obtaining both child and parent perspectives on issues regarding general family functioning and health-related quality of life and diabetes specific family functioning and health-related quality of life. In addition, they illustrated the importance of assessing health-related quality of life for children with diabetes as opposed to merely looking at the physical effects.
Download or read book Handbook of Childhood Behavioral Issues written by Thomas P. Gullotta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-09-19 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen increasing interest in the mental health field, particularly related to strategies that foster the positive behavior and healthy mental state of children. As the Handbook of Childhood Behavioral Issues indicates, however, the causes of childhood behavioral, physical, and mental health problems are multi-dimensional and cannot be treated with a uniform approach. Rather than focus solely on theory, this book offers evidence of effective interventions as well as extensive bio-psychosocial methods of preventative practices. The research confirms the impact that environment has on children and offers new approaches to address physical, mental health, and behavioral issues in children. This volume is broken down into chapters that concentrate on a specific behavior or disorder, which not only makes the information comprehensible, but also allows for in-depth coverage of a particular issue. In addition to considering the genetic and psychological factors that trigger childhood mental health problems, the handbook also investigates the significant impact that family members and the surrounding community have on a child’s life. It is a book uniquely designed to include both the current perspectives on childhood development and the most effective treatment and prevention options. The result is a book that provides a deeper understanding of the variety of factors that contribute to a child’s behavior along with important information on the progress of evidence-based practices.

Download or read book Effects of Adapted Multi dimensional Family Therapy on Glycemic Control Diabetes related Family Conflict and Distress in the Families of Adolescents with Poorly Controlled Type 1 Diabetes written by Jessica Lynn Tauber and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) undergo psychological and physiological challenges that increase the risk for insulin sensitivity, diabetes-related distress, family-conflict, and diabetes-related complications. Glycemic control, the cornerstone of management, is influenced by individual and familial factors. Most adolescents with T1D don’t achieve glycemic targets. This purpose of this research proposal is to describe an RCT with repeated-measures design, that will assess multi-dimensional family therapy for T1D (MDFT-T1D), an intervention that was designed specifically for adolescents with uncontrolled T1D. Adolescents (n=110) and a parent will be randomized to standard-care or MDFT-T1D and enrolled for 30-months. MDFT-T1D will consist of 8 in-person sessions at scheduled diabetes care appointments and intermediate check-in calls. RMANOVA analyses will assess main outcomes of: Glycemic control, blood glucose monitoring, distress, and family conflict

Cousino and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The purpose of the study was to test interactive models that examined the moderating effects of diabetes-specific family conflict on the relationship between parental involvement in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) care and illness-specific psychosocial outcomes for youth in poor metabolic control and their parents. Methods: Youth (N=72) ages 10-18 years with poorly controlled diabetes (A1c>8.5%) and one parent/caregiver completed measures assessing parental involvement in T1DM care, family conflict, youth diabetes-specific quality of life, and pediatric parenting stress. Results: Low shared treatment responsibility between parent and youth for T1DM treatment tasks and high levels of diabetes-specific family conflict interacted to predict poorer youth and parent psychosocial outcomes. Conclusions: Interventions targeting both family sharing of treatment responsibility and family conflict about diabetes-related issues may foster improvements in youth diabetes-specific QOL and pediatric parenting stress.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) must adhere to a complex treatment regimen. Adherence is often poor during adolescence, when the regimen behaviours may interact negatively with many of the developmental tasks. In a randomized controlled outcome study, 15 adolescents and their families participated in a family-based intervention for improving adherence to the diabetic regimen. Fourteen comparison group adolescents with IDDM spent a comparable amount of time learning stress management techniques. Adolescents in both groups attended a diabetes management review session with the clinic nurse. Inclusion criteria included mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) levels $>$9.0% over the previous nine months. At a 6-month follow-up, adolescents in the family intervention group were testing blood glucose levels more regularly (p $$1% (0% vs. 29%, $\chi\sp2$ = 6.32, p =.05). Methodological issues were discussed.

Download or read book The Relative Roles of Family and Peer Support in Metabolic Control and Quality of Life for Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes written by Victoria Margaret Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Metabolic control declines during adolescence, increasing the risk of severe medical complications. Numerous burdensome treatments including insulin management, blood glucose monitoring, diet and exercise are necessary to prevent such complications. Adolescence is characterised by the transition from reliance on the family to independence and increased peer affiliation. It is therefore important to examine the roles of family and peer support for diabetes management tasks within a developmental context. Previous research indicates that family may have a role in supporting practical diabetes management, whilst peers may provide emotional support. Currently there is no research that compares the impact of diabetes-specific family and peer support on both metabolic control and quality of life. The present study addresses these issues. Methods: Ninety adolescents aged 13-18 with type 1 diabetes participated in this crosssectional study. Data included youth report of diabetes-specific social support (DSSQ) from peers and family, quality of life (PedsQL) and metabolic control (HbA1c). The relationships between social support, quality of life and HbA1c were examined using t-tests and correlations. Fishers Z transformations and hierarchical multiple regression were used to investigate the social support measures as potential predictors of HbA1c and quality of life. Results: Family provided significantly more support for practical diabetes management tasks than did peers. Peers provided significantly more support for exercise, but less emotional support, than did family. Better metabolic control was predicted by lower levels of peer support for insulin management, higher levels of peer support for blood glucose monitoring, increased mood and higher levels of family support for exercise. Quality of life was predicted by increased mood, higher levels of family emotional support, family support for diet, lower levels of peer support for insulin management and higher levels of peer support for exercise. Conclusion: Whilst family support remains important throughout adolescence, peer support also has an important role in the metabolic control and quality of life of adolescents with diabetes. This has implications for clinical practice, the most significant of which being the education and inclusion of peers in diabetes care.
