简要总结
The transition from pediatric to adult care is particularly difficult for individuals with Type 1 diabetes. It is hypothesized that a mindfulness-based intervention for individuals making this transition will contribute to personal psychological well-being, superior participation in health care, and more tightly controlled blood sugar levels. Young adults with Type I diabetes will complete an eight-week training program in Mindful Self-Compassion. Intervention effectiveness will be assessed with both self-report and physiological measures. Assessments will occur at the start of the training program, end of the program, and three-months post-program.
详细描述
This research will evaluate the consequences of an eight-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) intervention on the psychological and physical well-being of 18 to 25 year-old individuals with Type 1 diabetes who are at an age of established risk. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an immediate intervention group or wait-list control group. All participants will be tested before and after the intervention on a battery of self-report measures designed to assess various aspects of self-care and psychological functioning. Blood samples will also be taken before and after the intervention to determine HbA1C levels. Participants will also receive a followup assessment three-months post-intervention to assess the durability of the effects. We expect MSC training to induce positive change in participants' diabetes management and personal well-being.

研究组 & 干预措施
Immediate Training Group
8 weeks of training in Mindful Self-Compassion.
干预措施: Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) (Behavioral)
Waitlist Control Group
No intervention for approximately 12 weeks. After this waiting period, participants will complete 8 weeks of training in Mindful Self-Compassion.
干预措施: Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in average plasma glucose concentration
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks, and 3 months
Assessed by HbA1C test results. The desired outcome is a statistically significant decrease in average glucose concentration, indicating greater diabetes management.
Change in diabetes self-management
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks, and 3 months
Assessed by total scores and subscale scores on the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (Toobert, Hampson, \& Glasgow, 2000), which range from 0 to 7 when item scores are averaged. The items assess general diet, specific diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, foot care, and smoking. The desired outcome is a statistically significant increase in diabetes self-management.
