Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease that requires daily insulin injections, daily blood tests for blood sugar monitoring, and constant supervision of diet. This study was designed to investigate the effect of self-care training on depression, anxiety, and self-efficacy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on a population of 60 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years with type 1 diabetes, who visited Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH) Hospital in Tehran in 2023. The training consisted of four sessions held once a week over a four-week period. The significance of the findings was assessed using the Chi-Square test, and ANOVA was used to compare quantitative variables between groups. Result: The findings of this study showed a significant difference in the mean scores of depression and anxiety between the two groups before and after the intervention. Moreover, a significant improvement was observed in the mean self-efficacy scores before and after the intervention. In a one-month follow-up, there was also a significant difference in the mean self-efficacy score between the follow-up group and the pre-intervention group (P value<0.05). Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study showed the positive effect of self-care training on reducing anxiety and depression and improving self-efficacy in patients with type 1 diabetes. Therefore, self-care training can be considered as one of the effective resources for promoting the dynamism and improvement of health-related characteristics in patients with type 1 diabetes. |
