Clinical Trial Summary

A brief, nurse-led educational intervention using motivational interviewing substantially improved general and disease-specific self-management skills in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Description:

Introduction and Objectives: For youth with chronic health conditions, adolescence is associated with a deterioration of disease self-management and poor health outcomes. Effective interventions are needed to prepare youth for transition to adulthood and adult care. To prospectively assess the impact of an education program based on motivational interviewing on self-management skills and glycemic control in youth with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: After parental consent and youth assent, investigators prospectively randomized 66 adolescents 13-18 years old with type 1 diabetes to either usual care (regular medical consultation) or usual care supplemented by sessions with a nurse educator using a motivational interviewing (MI) approach and goal setting based on responses to the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) and T1D specific self-management skills. Primary outcomes were TRAQ change scores and HbA1c levels between baseline and 6 months.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) scores	The TRAQ includes 20 items divided into five subscales: 1) Appointment keeping (7 questions; e.g., Do you call the doctor's office to make an appointment?) 2) Tracking health issues (4 questions; e.g., Do you keep a calendar or list of medical and other appointments?); 3) Managing medications (4 questions; e.g., Do you know what to do if you are having a bad reaction to your medications?); 4) Talking with healthcare providers (2 questions; e.g. Do you tell the doctor or nurse what you are feeling?); 5) Managing daily activities (3 questions; e.g. Do you help plan or prepare meals/food?). Each question has the same Liker response set from 1 to 5 using the Stages of Change Transtheoretical Model as a framework. A minimum score of ''1'' is assigned to the responses 'No, I don't know how' while a maximum score of '' 5 '' is assigned to responses labeled "Yes, I always do it when I need it." Higher scores mean better outcome.	Change from Baseline TRAQ score at 6 months
