Observed collaborative and intrusive parenting behaviours associated with psychosocial outcomes of adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their maternal caregivers
Authors' conclusion
These findings indicate that high levels of intrusive parenting behaviors, such as lecturing or over-controlling behaviors, are associated with lower levels of adolescent well-being, particularly among adolescent girls. This work suggests that interventions to reduce intrusive parenting by maternal caregivers could result in improved psychosocial outcomes for adolescents with T1D.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents with T1D (age 11–17) and their female caregivers
- Comparison
- Observed intrusive and collaborative parenting behaviours vs psychosocial and glycemic outcomes
Methodological detailsobservational analysis of videotaped adolescent-caregiver interactions
- Observational analysis of videotaped adolescent-caregiver interactions
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Observed parenting behaviours and adolescent psychosocial and glycemic outcomes
- Higher intrusive parenting associated with higher diabetes distress in adolescents (adjusted)
- Intrusive parenting: no difference in HbA1c
- Intrusive parenting–psychosocial associations (diabetes distress, quality of life) stronger in females than males
- Collaborative parenting–quality of life associations stronger in female than male adolescents
- No associations between collaborative parenting and glycemic outcomes
- Adjusted analyses
Further findings
Adolescent-reported family conflict
- Higher family conflict associated with lower adolescent quality of life and higher diabetes distress; no significant difference between male and female adolescents
