  • Abstract:

    Adolescence may be a complicated stage where mental health, well-being and self-esteem can be compromised. These difficulties could increase when coupled with a chronic, non-communicable disease such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The presence of a chronic physical illness affects the whole family system, so the nature and quality of the interaction between caregivers and the adolescent with T1DM1 may impact (facilitating or hindering) the adjustment to the illness of the whole family. Few studies have examined the relationship between the primary family caregiver-adolescent dyad.
