ABSTRACT
Abstract Diabetic adolescents have poor metabolic control. We aimed to characterize the longitudinal association between the stress-related domains of emotional burden (EB), physician related-distress (PD), regimen-related distress (RD), diabetes-related interpersonal distress (ID), and hemoglobin glycosylated (HbA1c) trajectories among Type 1 diabetics Chilean adolescents. Thirty-two Type 1 diabetic adolescents (Mage=15.97; SD=3.45) were followed for one year. HbA1c was assessed at three time points, and a stress measure was obtained. Using a longitudinal growth curve modeling, a marginal overall negative linear trend was found in HbA1c (b = -0.23, p = 0.096). There was an interaction between time and PD (b = -0.33, p < 0.05), and a main effect of EB, RD, and ID on HbA1c. Psychological stress domains predict metabolic control trajectories. Monitoring diabetes specific stress may be a useful tool to identify adolescents at risk for poor control, and interventions that reduce such stress might lead to better management of diabetes in adolescents.
RESUMEN
Resumen Los adolescentes diabéticos tienen un pobre control metabólico. El propósito de este estudio fue caracterizar la asociación longitudinal entre el estrés emocional (EB), estrés con el médico (PD), estrés con el tratamiento (RD) y estrés interpersonal (ID), con trayectorias de hemoglobinas glicosiladas (HbA1c) en adolescentes diabéticos tipo 1 (DM1). Treinta y dos adolescentes DM1 (Medad = 15.97, DE = 3.45) fueron seguidos un año. Se obtuvo la HbA1c tres veces en el año, más un auto-reporte de estrés. Análisis de curvas de crecimiento predijeron una tendencia lineal negativa en la trayectoria de HbA1c (b = -0.23, p = 0.096). Hubo una interacción entre el tiempo y PD (b = -0.33, p ≤ 0.05) y los efectos principales de EB, RD, e ID en HbA1c. Se concluye que el estrés psicológico predice trayectorias de HbA1c. Monitorear dominios específicos de estrés podría ser útil para identificar adolescentes con riesgo de tener pobre HbA1c, e intervenciones que reduzcan el estrés podrían ayudar a manejar la diabetes en adolescentes.
