Abstract

LUQUE, Bárbara et al. Psychoeducational interventions in children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes: a systematic review. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.1, pp.35-43.  Epub Aug 01, 2022. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2022a4.

The effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes is unclear. A systematic review was developed in accordance with PRISMA. Relevant databases (Pubmed, Cochrane, PsycINFO, and PsyARTICLES) were analyzed. Articles of the last decade with type 1 diabetes population between 6 and 18 years participating in psychoeducational interventions were the inclusion criteria. Twenty studies were reviewed, and improvements were found in glycosylated hemoglobin, diabetes knowledge, and psychosocial variables. The results support the positive effect of these interventions. The characteristics that seem to be behind the success of these interventions are the design appropriate to the characteristics of the population, the participation of psychologist and educators, the continuity of the program over time, and the use of digital tools and interaction strategies. Further studies need to be carried out and replicated in different groups of children and adolescents.
