- Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the quality of life of children in Korea with type 1 diabetes and related factors. Methods Children were recruited from a diabetes camp. Data were collected using four instruments: the PedsQL™ 3.2 Diabetes Module, Self- Efficacy for Diabetes Self- Management, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children, and the Diabetes Management Behavior Scale. Results Children who were older ( t = 2.197, p = .041), male ( t = −3.579, p = .002), and less depressed ( t = −2.859, p = .010) were more likely to have better quality of life. Conclusion Further research is needed in children with type 1 diabetes in countries where this disease is rare, and governmental support and public awareness are limited.
