Summer camps for children with IDDM have allowed educators to expand diabetes curricula and test novel approaches to education. Yet few evaluations have been published assessing the effectiveness of these types of educational interventions. The present study was designed as a formative assessment to provide preliminary evaluation of the impact of a life skills curriculum designed to increase awareness of different techniques that may be useful in managing stress. Life skills curricula are included each year as part of the teen session at the Texas Lions Camp for Children with Diabetes. Following the intervention, campers reported an intent to use more problem-focused and fewer detachment strategies to deal with a personally identified stressor. Limitations of the current pilot study are used to illustrate problems inherent in evaluation of camp programs.
针对患有胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（IDDM）儿童的夏令营，让教育工作者能够拓展糖尿病课程，并试验新颖的教育方法。然而，评估这类教育干预措施有效性的研究发表得很少。本研究旨在进行一次形成性评估，以初步评估一项生活技能课程的影响，该课程旨在提高对不同应激管理技巧的认识。生活技能课程每年都作为德州糖尿病儿童狮子营青少年活动环节的一部分。干预结束后，营员们表示打算采用更多聚焦问题的策略，而减少采用回避策略来应对个人确定的应激源。当前这项试点研究的局限性被用来说明营地项目评估中固有的问题。
