Factors related to diabetes distress among adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes： a Meta-analysis

Abstract

BackgroundDiabetes distress is highly prevalent and has adverse impacts in adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes. However， the related factors of diabetes distress in adolescents with type 1 diabetes are not clear.ObjectiveTo identify the factors associated with diabetes distress in adolescents with type 1 diabetes using Meta-analysis， and to provide a scientific evidence for effective prevention and improvement of diabetes distress in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.MethodsOn December 1， 2022， a computerized search was conducted on databases including PubMed， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP and China Biomedical Literature Database， and studies relevant to diabetes distress in adolescents with type 1 diabetes were systematically included. Quality assessment of cross-sectional and cohort studies was carried out using criteria defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality （AHRQ） and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale （NOS）. Then the included studies were pooled in a Meta-analysis using Revman 5.3.ResultsA total of 22 studies were included， involving 6 442 adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Meta-analysis denoted that the occurrence of diabetes distress among adolescents with type 1 diabetes was correlated with age （r=0.094，95% CI： 0.042~0.145）， HbA1c （r=0.291， 95% CI： 0.248~0.335）， trait anxiety （r=0.585， 95% CI： 0.526~0.639）， depressive symptoms （r=0.635， 95% CI： 0.590~0.676）， resilience （r=-0.410， 95% CI： -0.528~-0.276） and parents' diabetes distress （r=0.462， 95% CI： 0.421~0.501）.ConclusionFactors including age， HbA1c， trait anxiety， depressive symptoms， resilience and parents' diabetes distress are correlated with diabetes distress in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. ［Funded by Sichuan Science and Technology Program （number， 24KJPX0034）］
