Self Efficacy Levels, Attachment Style and Resiliency of Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

This project will assess self-efficacy levels(SE) ,resiliency and attachment style of adolescent with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers.SE and attachment style of patients and parents will be compared with each other as well as correlated with diabetes management as assessed by A1C and self inventory scale.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Examine the effects of patients' attachment styles (secure, mixed and fearful) on their type one diabetes management represented by A1C level

    Time frame: 25 minutes

    The following tool will be used - Relationship Scale Questionnaire (RSQ): The 30-item RSQ is valid and reliable. 76 Re-test reliability of the RSQ ranged from 0.54 to 0.78 and correlation coefficients of RSQ and RQ ranged from 0.41 to 0.6191.

    Adolescent Relationship Scale Questionnaire (A-RSQ): Sümer & Güngör (1999) used the A-RSQ and report validity of 0.7-0.95 as well as an internal consistency of 0.82.

Secondary outcomes

  1. a) Effect of attachment style on self efficacy level in patients.

    Time frame: 25 minutes

    The following tool will be used - Self-Efficacy of Diabetes Self-Management (SEDM): This is a 10-item questionnaire that is used to assess perceived self-efficacy to preform diabetes care behaviours. Respondents are asked to score responses on a 1-10 Likert scale in which '1= not at all sure' to '10= completely sure'.

  2. a) Effect of attachment style on self efficacy level in parents.

    Time frame: 25 minutes

    The following tool will be used - Self-Efficacy of Diabetes Self-Management (SEDM): This is a 10-item questionnaire that is used to assess perceived self-efficacy to preform diabetes care behaviours. Respondents are asked to score responses on a 1-10 Likert scale in which '1= not at all sure' to '10= completely sure'.

  3. b)Compare diabetes management self-efficacy and attachment style in patients.

    Time frame: 25 minutes

    To compare diabetes self-efficacy (SEDM) in patients and their parents, paired t-tests will be calculated. In addition, to compare attachment styles in patients and their parents, McNemar's test will be used. Paired t-tests and McNemar's tests effectively take into account the correlations between parent-adolescent measures from the same family.

  4. b)Compare diabetes management self-efficacy and attachment style in parents

    To compare diabetes self-efficacy (SEDM) in patients and their parents, paired t-tests will be calculated. In addition, to compare attachment styles in patients and their parents, McNemar's test will be used. Paired t-tests and McNemar's tests effectively take into account the correlations between parent-adolescent measures from the same family.
