Delamater, A.M., Patino-Fernandez, A.M., Smith, K.E., & Bubb, J. (2013). Measurement of diabetes stress in older children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Pediatric Diabetes, 14(1), 50-56.
Abstract: Objective: Studies indicate general psychological stress plays a role in the glycemic control of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Disease-specific rather than general measures may be more closely related to measures of health outcomes. Therefore, measurement of diabetes-related stress is needed to advance knowledge of significant relationships between stress and glycemic control. The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a measure of diabetes-related stress for youth with T1DM. Research design and methods: A 65-item diabetes stress questionnaire for youths (DSQY) was previously developed...
The DSQY was completed by 417 youths with T1DM and the results were analyzed to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the questionnaire, as well as relationships of diabetes stress with demographic and clinical variables. Results: A factor analysis of the DSQY yielded an eight-factor solution with acceptable internal consistencies. Significant relationships were observed between glycemic control and stress related to parents and dietary issues. While age and socioeconomic status were unrelated with DSQY scores, higher stress was associated with longer diabetes duration, female gender, and racial/ethnic minority status. Conclusions: The DSQY is a reliable and valid measure for assessment of diabetes-specific stress in youths with T1DM.

(HRQoL) of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM): self and parental perceptions. Pediatric Diabetes, 12, 34-40.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Greece compared with healthy controls and to identify the effect of age, gender, age of onset of disease, and metabolic control on perceptions of HRQoL. A total of 117 children and adolescents with T1DM…
(HRQoL) of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM): self and parental perceptions. Pediatric Diabetes, 12, 34-40.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Greece compared with healthy controls and to identify the effect of age, gender, age of onset of disease, and metabolic control on perceptions of HRQoL. A total of 117 children and adolescents with T1DM aged 5 -- 18, their parents, and 128 matched healthy children and adolescents participated. Children and adolescents completed PedsQL ™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales. Children and adolescents with T1DM also completed the PedsQL ™ 3.0 Diabetes Module, while their parents completed the proxy-reports of both the PedsQL ™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales and the PedsQL ™ 3.0 Diabetes Module. The results demonstrated that children and adolescents with T1DM had lower general HRQoL compared with healthy matched children and adolescents. Parents of children and adolescents with diabetes reported that the illness has a greater affect on their children's lives than the children themselves. Finally, the results indicated that later age of onset of diabetes, less hyperglycemic episodes, lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), older age, and male gender were associated with better general HRQoL and diabetes-specific HRQoL. The findings have implications for designing effective therapeutic interventions aimed at improving the HRQoL of children and adolescents with T1DM.

Diabetes and Pediatric and Dialysis The objective of this study is to analyze the incidence of diabetes among pediatric patients, with dialysis, by way of analysis of outcomes one year following diagnosis. Initiatives concerned with investigating pediatric diabetes have previously been associated with varying outcomes. What factors are linked with diabetes, pediatric patients, and dialysis with regards to Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) determinants? This forms the groundwork of the paper. Protection of Human Participants
Survival in Pediatric Dialysis and Transplant Patients Children that have to undergo kidney transplantation or dialysis at an early age are at much more risk than the healthier ones. The mortality rate risks have been identified to be around thirty times more. End-stage Renal Diseases (ESRD) can cause either or more of the following consequences in children: cognition and response, lack of muscular coordination, cardiovascular issues, tantamount to quality of life.
Diabetes and Pediatric and Dialysis This study's aim was to assess the level of cognition required by nurses to prevent Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). It has been shown that Diabetic affliction leads to build up of DN. Diabetes Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) complications lead to the micro vascular conditions that progress towards Diabetic Nephropathy; this can become life threatening. The growing incidence of both T1D and T2D especially among children
The presence of cardiac enzymes in the blood often indicates myocardial necrosis. Medical experts generally view MI as one among acute coronary syndromes. Unstable angina and non-ST-elevation MI are among the syndromes. Statistics said that approximately 1.5 million cases come up each year. MI is a cardiovascular condition. About 12 million deaths worldwide each year are attributed to cardiovascular diseases as cause, according to the World Health Organization. These
Nursing Research The study is divided in three parts. The first part identifies the palliative care as an area of nursing research that has improved the patient's outcome. The second part discusses the difference and similarities between nursing process and research process. The final part reviews three articles that focus on the palliative care, nursing and research process, and the paper reviews the abstract of each article. Identification of area of Nursing
Telehealth Strategies to Support Adolescents with Diabetes and CKD Children and youth who must undergo dialysis because of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are typically provided age appropriate educational materials for self-care. Key objectives of efforts to strengthen self-care education are the maintenance of optimally beneficial diet and, although direct evidence has not yet been shown for children, maintenance of blood pressure that is below the 90th percentile for height, age,
