Responses to the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire predict HbA1c trajectories in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: a population-based study.

Introduction: We aimed to determine whether caregiver responses to the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) are predictive of HbA1c trajectory membership in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, when adjusting for covariates.

Research Design And Methods: For a Danish 2009 national cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, we analyzed yearly HbA1c follow-up data during 2010-2020 including sociodemographic data from Danish national registries. Using group-based trajectory modeling and multinomial logistic regression, we tested whether caregiver SDQ scores predicted HbA1c trajectory membership when adjusting for sex, age at diabetes diagnosis, diabetes duration, family structure, and caregiver education.

Involving children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in health care: a qualitative study of the use of patient-reported outcomes.

Background: Within pediatric health care services, Patient-reported Outcomes (PROs) regarding the patient's health status are mainly used for research purposes in a chronic care setting. However, PROs are also applied in clinical settings in the routine care of children and adolescents with chronic health conditions. PROs have the potential to involve patients because they 'place the patient at the center' of his or her treatment.

Patient-reported outcome instruments for assessing the involvement of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in their treatment: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to identify available patient-reported outcome instruments used to assess the involvement of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in their treatment. Specifically, this review will examine the content, structure, and application of these instruments.

Introduction: It is considered meaningful to involve children and adolescents living with a chronic health condition, such as type 1 diabetes, in their own treatment.

Overeating, binge eating, quality of life, emotional difficulties, and HbA in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A Danish national survey.

Aims: To determine 1) the prevalence of symptoms of overeating (OE), subclinical binge eating (SBE) and clinical binge eating (CBE), in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and 2) their associations with quality of life (QoL), anxiety, depression, HbA, and body mass index standard deviation score (BMISDS).

Methods: In total 506 adolescents (age 12-17 years; mean 14.7 years; girls 49%) from the Danish Registry for Diabetes in Childhood and Adolescence (DanDiabKids) were included.

Assessment of family functioning in families with a child diagnosed with type 1 diabetes: Validation and clinical relevance of the general functioning subscale of the McMaster family assessment device.

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) can have a negative effect on family functioning, which is associated with deterioration in metabolic control. Therefore, a valid tool for assessing family functioning is clinically relevant. We assessed the quality and validity of the Danish general functioning (GF) subscale of the family assessment device (FAD).

Multi-informant path models of the influence of psychosocial and treatment-related variables on adherence and metabolic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Background: We assessed the associations between metabolic control and adherence and a broad range of adolescent and family characteristics (e.g., gender, family structure), treatment-related variables (e.

Parent Training for Preschool ADHD in Routine, Specialist Care: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Parent training is recommended for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in preschool children. Evidence-based interventions are important, but only if they produce better outcomes than usual care.

Method: The authors conducted a multicenter, 2-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial in routine specialist ADHD clinics in the Danish Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

A Danish version of self-efficacy in diabetes self-management: A valid and reliable questionnaire affected by age and sex.

Background: Managing the chronic illness type 1 diabetes (T1D) is extremely demanding, especially during adolescence. Self-efficacy is belief in one's own capabilities and this is crucial for diabetes management. Having a valid method for measuring self-efficacy is important.

Symptoms of emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties in the danish population of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes--results of a national survey.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of psychological difficulties in Danish children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes using both child/adolescent and caregiver reports, and to investigate associations between these symptoms and metabolic control, adherence, and quality of life.

Research Design And Method: A total of 786 children and adolescents (8-17 years) recruited through the Danish Registry of Childhood Diabetes completed subscales of the Beck's Youth Inventories (BYI-Y), while 910 caregivers completed the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The participants also completed questionnaires assessing adherence and quality of life.

Psychometric evaluation of the adherence in diabetes questionnaire.

Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of a short, new, self-administered questionnaire (17-19 items) for evaluating the adherence behavior of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers. This instrument has separate versions depending on the means of insulin administration, i.e.
