Utilizing standardized instruments, family and demographic predictors of general and problem-solving knowledge pertaining to diabetes were identified in 53 newly diagnosed children. Mothers, fathers, and children scored significantly higher on the general information component than on the problem-solving knowledge test. Parents of youth ages 15-18 scored significantly lower on both components of the knowledge test than parents of younger youth. Multivariate analyses identified 5 predictors of general information and problem-solving knowledge: child's age, family socioeconomic levels, family stress, family communication abilities, and financial resources. Results suggest that education programs should emphasize problem-solving ability as well as general knowledge, and target parents of older teenagers. Moreover, assessment of family stressors and resources should be routinely performed in families of newly diagnosed children.
通过使用标准化工具，在53名新诊断出糖尿病的儿童中确定了与糖尿病相关的一般知识和解决问题知识的家庭及人口统计学预测因素。母亲、父亲和孩子在一般信息部分的得分显著高于解决问题知识测试的得分。15 - 18岁青少年的父母在知识测试的两个部分的得分均显著低于年龄较小青少年的父母。多变量分析确定了一般信息和解决问题知识的5个预测因素：孩子的年龄、家庭社会经济水平、家庭压力、家庭沟通能力和财政资源。结果表明，教育项目应强调解决问题的能力以及一般知识，并以年龄较大青少年的父母为目标人群。此外，应定期对新诊断儿童的家庭进行家庭压力源和资源的评估。
