The Effect of Motivational Interviewing in Children With Type 1 Diabetes

This research was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental way to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on hypoglycemia fear, caregiving, fatigue and self-compassion in parents of children with Type 1 diabetes.

The research was carried out in two stages. The first stage was carried out methodologically to determine the validity and reliability of the "Parental Version Of The Diabetes-Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)" in Turkish. The sample of the study was composed of 102 parents and the data were collected with the "Descriptive Information Form" and the " Parental Version Of The Diabetes-Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)". "Language", "scope" and "construct" validity analyzes were used to evaluate the validity of the scale. KMO and Bartlett's Tests and factor analysis were evaluated for construct validity.

The scales were applied at the beginning of the study and 10 weeks after the first data. After the first test data were obtained from each parent in our research group, four face-to-face motivational interviews were conducted at two-week intervals. In the interviews, attempts were made to change and improve the behaviors and skills that parents felt inadequate within the scope of fear of hypoglycemia, caregiving, fatigue and self-compassion.
