Towards standardization of person-reported outcomes (PROs) in pediatric diabetes research: A consensus report.

Background: Diabetes ranks among the most common chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence. It is unique among chronic conditions, in that clinical outcomes are intimately tied to how the child or adolescent living with diabetes and their parents or carers react to and implement good clinical practice guidance. It is widely recognized that the individual's perspective about the impact of trying to manage the disease together with the burden of self-management should be addressed to achieve optimal health outcomes.

Face and content validity of the EMPOWER-UP questionnaire: a generic measure of empowerment in relational decision-making and problem-solving.

Background: Decision-making and problem-solving processes are powerful activities occurring daily across all healthcare settings. Their empowering potential is seldom fully exploited, and they may even be perceived as disempowering. We developed the EMPOWER-UP questionnaire to enable assessment of healthcare users' perception of empowerment across health conditions, healthcare settings, and healthcare providers' professional backgrounds.

Effectiveness of the MyDiaMate application in reducing diabetes distress in adults with type 1 diabetes: Study protocol of the multi-national, randomised-controlled MyREMEDY trial.

Aims: Diabetes distress is common among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), negatively affecting quality of life, self management, and diabetes outcomes. E-health-based interventions could be an effective and low-cost way to improve the psychological care for people with T1D experiencing diabetes distress. The MyREMEDY study aims to test the effectiveness of the online unguided self-help intervention MyDiaMate in decreasing diabetes distress in adults with T1D.

Associations between weight self-stigma and healthy diet and physical activity among adults with type 2 diabetes: Cross-sectional results from the second Diabetes MILES - Australia (MILES-2) study.

Aims: To examine associations between weight self-stigma and healthy diet or physical activity, and potential moderating effects of self-esteem, diabetes self-efficacy, and diabetes social support, among adults with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Diabetes MILES-2 data were used, an Australian cross-sectional online survey. Participants with type 2 diabetes who considered themselves overweight, and reported concern about weight management (N = 726; 48% insulin-treated), completed the Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ; total score and subscales: self-devaluation, fear of enacted stigma), measures of diabetes self-care (diet, exercise), and hypothesised psychosocial moderators (self-esteem, diabetes self-efficacy, and diabetes social support).
