Feasibility of a multidisciplinary pilot intervention for parent/caregiver diabetes distress
Authors' conclusion
The pilot intervention was feasible, with two-thirds of caregivers attending ≥2 sessions. Reported DD improved over time. Limitations include a small initial sample. Future directions include expanding this study to a larger population and ultimately incorporating a similar support program into the clinical setting as part of routine outpatient diabetes care.
