Adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) often speak of the importance of attending a diabetes camp. In an effort to identify the effect of a diabetes camp on participants, a descriptive comparative pilot study was undertaken. Adolescents 10 to 16 years of age with T1DM attending a residential diabetes camp (N = 81) were recruited to explore the concept of self-efficacy and resilience, two possible mediators influenced by attending camp. Overall, self-efficacy and resilience scores were moderately high. No differences were detected in outcome measures for gender or mode of insulin therapy; however, African Americans scored significantly higher for diabetes self-efficacy and resilience. Subjects living with one parent had poorer glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1C) but scored better in resilience. No association for years of camp attendance and study outcomes were identified. Diabetes camp is an important experience for adolescents living with T1DM, and continued exploration of the influence of diabetes camp is warranted.
患有1型糖尿病（T1DM）的青少年经常谈到参加糖尿病夏令营的重要性。为了确定糖尿病夏令营对参与者的影响，开展了一项描述性比较试点研究。招募了10至16岁患有T1DM且参加住宿制糖尿病夏令营的青少年（N = 81），以探讨自我效能感和心理韧性这两个可能受参加夏令营影响的中介因素的概念。总体而言，自我效能感和心理韧性得分中等偏高。在性别或胰岛素治疗方式的结果指标上未检测到差异；然而，非裔美国人在糖尿病自我效能感和心理韧性方面得分显著更高。与单亲生活的受试者糖化血红蛋白（HgbA1C）水平较差，但在心理韧性方面得分更高。未发现参加夏令营的年限与研究结果之间存在关联。糖尿病夏令营对患有T1DM的青少年来说是一次重要经历，因此有必要继续探索糖尿病夏令营的影响。
