This study identified three distinct patterns of self-management groups for a sample of 239 youth (9-11 years) with type 1 diabetes and their maternal and paternal caregivers, and assessed their relationship to glycemic control (HbA1c).
Youth and their maternal and paternal caregivers were administered the diabetes self-management profile (DSMP) to assess self-management. Glycemic control was based on hemoglobin A1c.
Two-step cluster analysis identified three different self-management groups based on youth, maternal, and paternal reports. Analysis of variance indicated that the pattern of less optimal diabetes self-management was associated with worse glycemic control.
Our results objectively describe differences in patterns of self-management in youth with type 1 diabetes, that relate to glycemic control. Interventions based on these specific patterns of self-management may improve diabetes management and enhance glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
本研究通过对 239 名(9-11 岁)1 型糖尿病患儿及其父母的样本进行分析,识别出三种不同的自我管理模式,并评估其与血糖控制(HbA1c)的关系。
对患儿及其父母进行糖尿病自我管理量表(DSMP)评估自我管理。血糖控制基于血红蛋白 A1c。
基于两步聚类分析,根据患儿、母亲和父亲的报告,确定了三种不同的自我管理模式。方差分析表明,糖尿病自我管理较差的模式与血糖控制较差相关。
我们的结果客观地描述了 1 型糖尿病患儿自我管理模式的差异,这些差异与血糖控制有关。基于这些特定自我管理模式的干预措施可能会改善儿童和青少年 1 型糖尿病的管理,增强血糖控制。
