本研究探讨了1型糖尿病（T1D）幼儿母亲的焦虑和抑郁症状与母亲对低血糖的恐惧，应对的看法和儿童的代谢控制。67名8岁以下儿童的母亲被诊断为T1D，完成了自我报告措施，儿童的代谢控制用糖化血红蛋白测量。大约21%的母亲报告了临床显著水平的焦虑症状，24%的母亲报告了临床显著水平的抑郁症。收入水平较低和发现科普与糖尿病有关的压力更令人不安，这是母亲焦虑和抑郁症状的原因。母亲的症状与儿童的代谢控制无关。建议对母亲进行筛查，并提供支持性干预措施，以减轻她们的痛苦。
This study examined symptoms of anxiety and depression in mothers of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in relation to mothers' fears of hypoglycemia, perceptions of coping, and children's metabolic control. Sixty-seven mothers of children less than 8 years of age diagnosed with T1D completed self-report measures, and children's metabolic control was measured with glycosolated hemoglobin. Approximately 21% of mothers reported clinically significant levels of symptoms of anxiety and 24% reported clinically significant levels of depression. Lower income level and finding it more upsetting to cope with diabetes-related stress accounted for higher symptoms of anxiety and depression in mothers. Mothers' symptoms were not related to children's metabolic control. Recommendations are made for screening mothers and providing supportive interventions to alleviate their distress.
