Type 1 diabetes management can be challenging for children and their families. To address psychosocial concerns for parents of youth with type 1 diabetes, we developed two parent-focused interventions to reduce their diabetes distress and fear of hypoglycemia. Our team conducted several of these interventions during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and recognized a need to make timely adjustments to our interventions. In this viewpoint article, we describe our experience conducting these manualized treatment groups during the pandemic, the range of challenges and concerns specific to COVID-19 that parents expressed, and how we adjusted our approach to better address parents' treatment needs.
1型糖尿病的管理对儿童及其家庭来说可能具有挑战性。为了解决1型糖尿病青少年家长的心理社会问题，我们开发了两种以家长为重点的干预措施，以减轻他们的糖尿病困扰和对低血糖的恐惧。我们的团队在新冠疫情初期进行了几次这样的干预，并认识到需要对我们的干预措施及时进行调整。在这篇观点文章中，我们描述了在疫情期间开展这些标准化治疗小组的经验、家长们表达的与新冠疫情相关的一系列挑战和担忧，以及我们如何调整方法以更好地满足家长的治疗需求。
