As children and youth with diabetes grow up, they become increasingly responsible
for controlling and monitoring their condition. We conducted a scoping review to
explore the research literature on self-management interventions for children and
youth with diabetes. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Some of the
studies reviewed combined the participant population so that children with Type 1
as well as children with Type 2 diabetes were included.
The majority of the
studies focused on children age 14 yr or older and provided self-management
education, self-management support, or both. Parent involvement was a key
component of the majority of the interventions, and the use of technology was
evident in 3 studies. The findings highlight factors that occupational therapy
practitioners should consider when working with pediatric diabetes teams to
select self-management interventions.
