About this study

Official title: Improving Self-Efficacy, Quality of Life and Glycemic Control in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: An Experimental Evaluation of the Family Centered Empowerment Model

Empowerment in healthcare, particularly in the context of chronic illness management such as diabetes, entails equipping patients with knowledge, expertise, and self-assurance to proactively oversee their health and make well-informed choices. This encompasses comprehensive strategies that target psychological, social, and lifestyle elements with the goal of enhancing self-confidence and health results. The objective of this research is to evaluate how the Family-Centered Empowerment Model affects the clinical and psychological outcomes of adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes, with an emphasis on increases in quality of life, self-efficacy, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.

Read the detailed description

It is a metabolic condition marked by elevated blood glucose levels that can cause serious side effects like renal failure, heart disease, blindness, and even amputations.

Intervention groupExperimentalAn official diabetes education program and family empowerment model where employed, designed to provide people with diabetes and their families the information and abilities they need to manage their condition effectively. Types of diabetes, blood sugar control, self-monitoring methods, nutrition, meal planning, physical activity recommendations, medication management, and problem-solving approaches are all included in these programs
Receives: Behavioral: Education program
Control groupNo interventionPatients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus for six months or more and had not attended any form of structured diabetes education including hospital-based classes or community group diabetes education classes for the preceding month of the study. These parameters were adopted to ensure that study takes place in a controlled environment and targets the aspects of intervention of study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Glycosylated hemoglobin level

    Serum glycosylated hemoglobin level was measured as a baseline, then 6 months after the intervention, to measure the mean difference between the two readings.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Quality of life

    Pediatric Quality of Life-Diabetes Module was used. The twenty-eight items in this multidimensional tool are categorized into five domains: treatment obstacles (four items), treatment adherence (seven items), concern (three items), and diabetic symptoms (eleven items). For teenage self-report, a five-point Likert scale was employed. The total number of questions divided by the total number of answers is how scale scores are calculated.

    Measured: 6 months
