目的：评估通过减少父母压力、增加社会支持和改善对儿童糖尿病的日常管理，对1型糖尿病(T1D)幼儿父母进行电话支持干预的初步效果和可行性。方法：研究小组根据社会认知理论为T1D幼儿父母制定了一个简短的项目。24名T1D幼儿(2-5岁)的父母(88%的母亲)参与了该项目的初步研究，并完成了心理社会问卷和项目满意度调查。结果：干预前后得分的配对t检验表明，干预组具有良好的组内影响，表现为儿童育儿压力的减少和领悟到的社会支持的增加。该项目很受欢迎，大多数参与者认为它是有帮助和有趣的。结论：通过实施结构化干预来帮助父母应对幼儿糖尿病管理的独特挑战是有希望的。实践意义：以电话为基础的干预专注于儿童的发展、应对和解决问题的技能，有可能积极影响父母的生活质量，并可能对儿童的健康产生影响。(C)2010爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
Objective: To assess initial efficacy and feasibility of a telephone-based supportive intervention for parents of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) designed to improve parental quality of life (QOL) through decreased parental stress, increased social support, and improved daily management of their child's diabetes.Methods: The research team developed a brief program based on social cognitive theory for parents of young children with T1D. Twenty-four parents (88% mothers) of young children with T1D (ages 2-5 years) participated in a pilot study of the program and completed psychosocial questionnaires and a program satisfaction survey.Results: Paired t-tests of pre- and post-intervention scores suggested a favorable within-group impact for the intervention group, as evidenced by decreased pediatric parenting stress and a trend for increased perceived social support. The program was well-received, with the majority of participants rating it as helpful and interesting.Conclusion: Assisting parents with the unique challenges of diabetes management in young children through implementation of a structured intervention is promising.Practice implications: A telephone-based intervention focused on child development, coping, and problem-solving skills has the potential to positively impact parents' QOL and may have implications for children's health.
