  • autonomy support and responsibility sharing predict Blood Glucose Monitoring frequency among youth with diabetes
    Health Psychology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Joseph R Rausch, Jennifer M Rohan, Korey K Hood, Jennifer Shroff Pendley, Alan M Delamater, Dennis Drotar
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE Adolescence poses a number of special challenges for youth and their families managing the Type 1 diabetes medical regimen. Little is known on how family and youth factors and management of the regimen change over the course of early adolescence and predict adherence to the regimen during this developmental period. METHODS Youth with Type 1 diabetes (n = 239) and their maternal caregivers completed measures of diabetes-specific autonomy support, diabetes-related family conflict, regimen responsibility, and Blood Glucose Monitoring frequency (BGMF) at 4 timepoints over a 3-year period. RESULTS Autonomy support and BGMF significantly decreased over time and responsibility for the diabetes regimen shifted from the caregiver toward youth over time. Significant changes in perceived family conflict over time differed depending on the reporter. Baseline BGMF, changes in caregiver autonomy support, and changes in responsibility for the regimen significantly predicted changes in BGMF over time. CONCLUSIONS This study documents changes in autonomy support, youth responsibility for the diabetes regimen, and BGMF during the transition into early adolescence. Higher levels of caregiver autonomy support preserve BGMF during a developmental period in which BGMF typically deteriorates.

  • Blood Glucose Monitoring and glycemic control in adolescence contribution of diabetes specific responsibility and family conflict
    Journal of Adolescent Health, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lisa M Ingerski, Korey K Hood, Barbara J Anderson, Lawrence M Dolan
    Abstract:

    Purpose To examine age and time trends in responsibility for diabetes management tasks and diabetes-specific family conflict and their relationship to Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) frequency and Blood Glucose control (HbA1c).

  • anxiety symptoms in adolescents with type 1 diabetes association with Blood Glucose Monitoring and glycemic control
    Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Michele Herzer, Korey K Hood
    Abstract:

    Objective To examine the prevalence of anxiety symptoms and their association with Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) and glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Methods 276 adolescents and their caregivers completed measures of anxiety symptoms. Adolescents completed a measure of depressive symptoms. Demographic and family characteristics were obtained from caregiver report. Diabetes duration, regimen type, BGM frequency, and glycemic control were also collected. Results Trait anxiety symptoms that suggest further clinical assessment is needed were present in 17% of adolescents; the rate was 13% for state anxiety symptoms. Higher levels of state anxiety symptoms were associated with less frequent BGM F(14, 261) ¼6.35, p<.0001, R 2 ¼.25, and suboptimal glycemic control, F(15, 260) ¼7.97, p<.0001, R 2 ¼.32. State anxiety symptoms were correlates of BGM frequency and glycemic control independent of depressive symptoms. Conclusions State anxiety symptoms are associated with less frequent BGM and suboptimal glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

  • depressive symptoms and glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mediational role of Blood Glucose Monitoring
    Diabetes Care, 2009
    Co-Authors: Meghan E Mcgrady, Lori M Laffel, Dennis Drotar, David Repaske, Korey K Hood
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective – Determine if the association between depressive symptoms and glycemic control is mediated by Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM). Research Design and Methods – 276 adolescents with type 1 diabetes (age=15.6±1.4 years) completed a measure of depressive symptoms. Sociodemographic and family characteristics were obtained from caregivers. BGM frequency and glycemic control were obtained at a clinic visit. Results – Separate regression analyses revealed that depressive symptoms ( B =−0.03, p =0.04) were associated with lower BGM frequency; depressive symptoms were associated with higher A1c ( B =0.03, p =0.05); and lower BGM frequency ( B =−0.39, p B =0.02, p =0.19). The Sobel test was significant, z =1.96, p Conclusions – BGM is a mediator between depressive symptoms and glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

  • the Blood Glucose Monitoring communication questionnaire an instrument to measure affect specific to Blood Glucose Monitoring
    Diabetes Care, 2004
    Co-Authors: Korey K Hood, Deborah A Butler, Lisa K Volkening, Barbara J Anderson, Lori M Laffel
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE —The aim of this study was to present the psychometric properties of a new tool for evaluating affective response to Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) in youths with type 1 diabetes and their parents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS —Study participants included 153 youths with type 1 diabetes and their parents. Each youth and parent completed the Blood Glucose Monitoring Communication (BGMC) questionnaire, Diabetes Family Conflict Scale, and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Statistical analyses evaluated the psychometric properties of the BGMC questionnaires and their association with glycemic outcomes. RESULTS —Youth and parent BGMC questionnaires had acceptable internal consistency (youth, α = 0.77; parent, α = 0.82) and 1-year test-retest reliability (youth, r = 0.60; parent, r = 0.80). Higher BGMC questionnaire scores (indicating more negative affect) showed a strong association with higher levels of diabetes-specific family conflict (youth, r = 0.33; parent, r = 0.44) and poorer health-related psychosocial quality of life (youth, r = −0.50; parent, r = −0.42). Higher BGMC questionnaire scores were also associated with poorer glycemic control (youth, r = 0.28; parent, r = 0.20), even when the effects of diabetes-specific family conflict and psychosocial quality of life were controlled. Youths with BGMC questionnaire scores in the upper quartile had A1c values 1 percentage point higher (9.1%) than youths with scores in the lowest quartile (8.0%). CONCLUSIONS —The BGMC questionnaires have strong psychometric properties and are convenient measures of affect specific to BGM. Further, BGM affect is associated with glycemic outcomes and may provide a unique contribution to factors associated with glycemic control in youths.
