  • Psychosocial factors affecting the etiology and management of type 1 diabetes mellitus [Elektronski vir] : a narrative review
    Turin, Anja ; Drobnič Radobuljac, Maja
    Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the most common chronic diseases in children and adolescents worldwide. Its etiopathogenesis results from the interplay of genetic and environmental variables. Among ... the latter, psychological stress has been implicated in disease onset as well as disease management. Various studies, including large population-based studies, have highlighted the role of stressful life events in the etiopathogenesis of T1D. In this article, we also emphasize the importance of attachment in the early child-caregiver relationship, which can be seen as a measure of the quality of the relationship and is crucial for stress and emotional regulation. It serves as a model for all subsequent relationships in one%s life. We summarize some of the few studies performed in the field of attachment and T1D etiopathogenesis or management. T1D management demands a lifelong therapeutic regimen to prevent acute and chronic complications. In addition to psychological stress, psychological factors such as family functioning, developmental adjustment, autonomy, mental health problems and other factors have been found to relate to metabolic control. Psychological factors need to be understood not as a single directional causality-based principle but as a dynamic bi- or multidirectional system that is affected by the normal developmental transitions of childhood and adolescence.
