Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease caused by beta-cell destruction due to autoimmune or other causes and resulting from absolute insulin deficiency. Type 1 diabetes is most commonly seen in children and adolescents. Because adaptation to diabetes leads to changes in the life style of the child and family, adaptation to the disease is quite difficult.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus has many psychosocial effects (anxiety, fear, anxiety, mourning, anxiety) on children. In this review, we aimed to investigate the psychosocial adaptation of children and their families with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
CONCLUSION:
Psychosocial evaluation, counseling and education services of children and their families diagnosed with type 1 diabetes should be provided. Thus, adaptation of the child and family to the disease will be ensured, complications will be prevented and quality of life will be improved.
