Quantitative cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using the validated questionnaires “Modified Diabetes Quality of Life” and “Questionnaire for the assessment of psychological impact in parents/guardians of diabetic children”.Results: Most of the children (70.3% versus 29.7%) identified diabetes as unpleasant or not fun. The ≤ 5-year-olds expressed that they felt concerned about the consequences of being diabetic (8.1% by age group), as opposed to the 10-year-olds who did not feel concerned (85.1% by age group), P < 0.001. The family environment was affected in 98.1% (n=99) of the cases.Conclusion: Self-care of type 1 diabetes mellitus in pediatric patients is a complex process that impacts the family environment and their relationship with their peers, especially for children under the age of 5. Fear, concern and insecurity were prevalent feelings in children suffering type 1 diabetes mellitus.Keywords: chronic disease, adaptation, psychological, self-care, child health, psychologyMadrigal MALópez MSánchez ACao MJCastro MJJiménez JMDove Medical Pressarticlechronic diseaseadaptationpsychologicalself-carechild healthpsychology.Specialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 4973-4980 (2020)
