Home Intervention and Social Precariousness in Childhood Diabetes — PRECADIAB  

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Clinical Trial

Official title: Evaluation of the Impact of a Home-based Intervention by a Pediatric Nurse to Prevent Diabetes Imbalance Within One Year of Its Discovery in Children Whose Parents Are in a Precarious Social Situation (PRECADIAB)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A pilot study of children whose families are in a precarious situation, who will benefit from a targeted at-home intervention by a pediatric nurse. Visits will be organized during the first, fourth and sixth months after the discovery of diabetes. The HbA1C measured 12 months after the diabetes diagnosis will be compared to the HbA1C obtained in an historical cohort that did not receive at-home therapeutic education.

Clinical Trial Description

The EPICES score is an individual indicator of precariousness associated with indicators of access to health care and indicators of health. For this score, 30 is considered as the precariousness threshold. It is collected during the follow-up of our cohort of diabetic children and the data is obtained from the parent accompanying the child.

In 2016, we found in this cohort that a context of precariousness was associated with a very poor result of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) (Lamaraud J et al., 2017). The imbalance of diabetes was detectable as early as one year after diagnosis and persisted despite additional educational interventions. Therapeutic education allows families in precarious situations to acquire, during the initial hospitalization, knowledge that meets the security objectives and is adapted to the care of their child. However, we have noticed that it can be difficult for some families to apply this knowledge when they are back in their home.

Thus, we are planning to set up a coordinated intervention by a pediatric nurse at the child's home to support the parents in the implementation of the theoretical knowledge acquired at the hospital.

Three home visits will be set up by a nurse during the first six months of the discovery of diabetes in the child. These visits will be organized during the first, fourth and sixth months after the discovery of diabetes and last about 2 hours each time. An additional visit may be set up according to the needs of families. The HbA1C measured 12 months after the diabetes diagnosis will be compared to the HbA1C obtained in an historical cohort that did not receive at-home therapeutic education. ;
