ABSTRACT
La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) es una enfermedad crónica ampliamente extendida entre la población infantojuvenil. Suele suponer una sobrecarga significativa en el niño y su familia, modificando aspectos en su estilo de vida, necesarios para cumplimentar las exigencias del tratamiento. Nuestro objetivo es estudiar las principales características psicológicas, familiares y de ajuste a la enfermedad de los niños y adolescentes diagnosticados de DM1, haciendo especial hincapié en los factores psicopatológicos asociados. La metodología empleada ha consistido en una búsqueda bibliográfica sistemática en las principales bases de datos científicas. Debido al impacto biopsicosocial que la DM1 suele suponer en la vida del niño y su familia, pudiendo comprometer la calidad de vida y bienestar emocional de ambos, se ha señalado la importancia de identificar el conjunto de factores psicológicos asociados con un buen ajuste a la DM1 infantojuvenil
