To devise and implement a structured intervention for integrating peers into diabetes care in a healthy and adaptive manner.
Adolescents with diabetes (n = 21) and their best friends (n = 21) participated in a group intervention aimed at increasing diabetes knowledge and social support of diabetes care. Measures of social support, knowledge about diabetes and support, diabetes functioning, and social functioning were obtained prior to and following intervention.
Following the intervention, adolescents and their friends demonstrated higher levels of knowledge about diabetes and support, as well as a higher ratio of peer to family support, and friends demonstrated improved self-perception. Parents reported decreased diabetes-related conflict.
Peer group intervention approaches may result in increased positive peer involvement in adolescents' diabetes care.
设计并实施一种结构化干预措施,以健康且适应性强的方式让同龄人融入糖尿病护理。
患有糖尿病的青少年(n = 21)及其最好的朋友(n = 21)参与了一项旨在增加糖尿病知识以及糖尿病护理社会支持的团体干预。在干预前后获取了社会支持、糖尿病知识与支持、糖尿病功能以及社会功能的测量数据。
干预后,青少年及其朋友展现出更高水平的糖尿病知识与支持,以及更高的同龄人支持与家庭支持比例,并且朋友们的自我认知得到改善。家长报告与糖尿病相关的冲突减少。
同龄人团体干预方法可能会使同龄人更积极地参与到青少年的糖尿病护理中。
