The negative impact of psychosocial burden in connection with the treatment of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) indicates the need for regular screening of diabetes distress in adolescents with T1D and their parents. Psychometric properties of the German versions of Problem Areas in Diabetes scale-Teen (PAID-T) and Parent (P-PAID-T) are examined in order to provide a clinical screening tool. Linguistically translated questionnaires were used in a multicenter study with 459 families. Confirmatory factor analysis, validity, and reliability were examined. Teens (42.8% female) had a mean age of 14.7 years. Most parent-caregivers were mothers (74.4%) and were born in Germany (83.1%). Results corroborate the three-factor model for the PAID-T with acceptable model fit, and convergent and discriminant validity was observed. The four-factor model for parents was also supported but had inadequate discriminant validity in this study. Teen and parent scores showed excellent Cronbach's α = 0.91 and 0.93, respectively. The PAID-T and P-PAID-T scores were positively correlated with HbA1c ( = .343 and .252, respectively, < .001) and negatively correlated with treatment satisfaction (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire) and KIDSCREEN-10 index (teens: = -.545 and -.575; parents: = -.563 and -.489, respectively, all < .001). The P-PAID-T correlated positively with depressive symptoms measured in Patient Health Questionnaire -9 ( = .537, < .001). The German versions of PAID-T and P-PAID-T produced scores that demonstrated good reliability and validity. Like the original English versions, the German versions are useful to detect diabetes-specific distress in families and to tailor interventions for affected teenagers and their parents.
