Promoting Resilience in Stress Management for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial

JAMA Netw OpenPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The findings in this randomized clinical trial of psychosocial and behavioral improvements associated with PRISM at 12 months illustrate the value of a strengths-based intervention. Integrating resilience skills-building with traditional diabetes care may be a promising approach for improving outcomes among adolescents with T1D and elevated diabetes distress.

Study context

Population
Adolescents aged 13 to 18 years with T1D for at least 12 months and elevated diabetes distress, 2 children's hospitals (Seattle, Washington; Houston, Texas); mean (SD) age 15.7 (1.6) years, 56% female, baseline mean (SD) hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 8.7% (2.0%)followed up 12 months
Participants
172 adolescents
Comparison
Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) vs usual care
Primary endpoint
2 primary outcomes: diabetes distress and HbA1c levels
Follow-up
6 and 12 months after baseline
Methodological detailsphase 3, parallel, 1:1 randomized, 2 children's hospitals, Conducted January 1, 2020, to November 30, 2022

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

6 and 12 months
HbA1c at 6 months; no difference
β −0.21 (95% CI −0.65 to 0.22); P = 0.33
Diabetes distress at 6 months; no difference
β −2.71 (95% CI −6.31 to 0.90); P = 0.14
HbA1c at 12 months; no statistically significant difference
β −0.26 (95% CI −0.72 to 0.19); P = 0.25
Diabetes distress at 12 months; significantly greater amelioration with PRISM
β −4.59 (95% CI −8.25 to −0.94); P = 0.01
