The aim of this study was to examine the quality of life, anxiety and affectivity in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and in their parents after participating in a diabetes summer camp.
A total of 20 children and adolescents with T1D, aged 8-14, and their parents participated. The study design was quasi-experimental longitudinal with an intra-subject factor with two measurements (pre/post), and an inter-group factor (child/parent).
After attending camp, a significantly increased quality of life, demonstrated by the emotional well-being and self-esteem scores, was found in the children but not in the parents. Less negative affectivity and an improvement in positive affectivity was seen in the parents, but not in the children. Differences in anxiety were found in both the children and the parents.
This research presents empirical evidence of the benefits of participation in a diabetes camp in both children and their parents.
本研究旨在探讨 1 型糖尿病(T1D)患儿及其父母参加糖尿病夏令营后的生活质量、焦虑和情感状态。
共有 20 名 8-14 岁的 T1D 患儿及其父母参与了本研究。研究设计为准实验性纵向设计,有一个被试内因素(前后两次测量)和一个被试间因素(患儿/家长)。
参加夏令营后,患儿的生活质量显著提高,表现在情绪健康和自尊评分上,但家长没有变化。家长的负性情感状态减少,正性情感状态改善,但患儿没有变化。患儿和家长的焦虑程度都有差异。
本研究提供了参加糖尿病夏令营对患儿及其父母均有益处的实证证据。
