“…In the preparation stage, the child will dedicate himself to the completion of a plan aiming at the desired change; he can soon experience small transformations as his determination to change is increased 54 . The diabetes camping’s have represented effective strategies in the promotion of adequate diabetes management 60 - 63 with the aim of sharing experiences with colleagues with the same diagnosis and to empower children to become more responsible for their condition. Thus, the scenario of diabetes camps are ideal places for teaching self-management skills 60 as well as weekend meetings and innovative and creative educational group sessions.…”

Objective: to present a theoretically based conceptual framework for designing video games for children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: this was a methodological study that developed a conceptual framework with nine steps in view of health behavior change theories and the user-centered design approach as theoretical and methodological frameworks, respectively. Twenty-one children, aged 7 to 12 years, participated by expressing their needs and preferences related to diabetes and video games. Data were analysed following content analysis guidelines. Then, a choice of appropriate health behavioral change theories and their determinants that should be capable of influencing children’s behaviors and preferences. Results: the conceptual framework proposes a video game that consists of six phases, each addressing one stage of behavioral change and specific determinants, aligned with the needs and preferences identified by the participating children. This study shows the applicability of this framework in view of each proposed phase presenting examples and the children’s ideas. Conclusion: the results of this study contribute to advance the discussion on how behavioral theories and their determinants should be related to the design of creative and funny video games considering the profile of the target population as well as its needs and preferences.

“…During follow-up care, the multiprofessional team can work on maturing self-efficacy among pre-adolescents by making them believe in their own potential to positively transform their experienced events. This maturing process entails acceptance of diabetes and thus promotes the idea that the limitations imposed by the disease need not make them feel different from other adolescents, therefore minimizing the feeling of exclusion and favoring their selfesteem and independence (25) .…”

Objective: To analyze the needs of pre-adolescents with type 1 diabetes regarding self-care support for disease management. Method: Qualitative study conducted between October and December 2016 with pre-adolescents seen at a hospital outpatient clinic and at Family Health Units; semi-structured interviews were used. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis based on the theoretical basis of self-care support. Results: Nine pre-adolescents participated in the study. It was identified that in order to build self-efficacy, pre-adolescents need to overcome the disease denial phase, know how to handle feelings triggered by the need for lifestyle changes, receive support from their families and social networks, and have the self-awareness and self-perception needed to feel secure in managing their diabetes. Conclusion: The intrinsic challenges of adolescence and the way pre-adolescents with diabetes handle the disease have an influence on diabetes management and create needs that must be appreciated by health care professionals in order to provide self-care support.

“…The reviewed literature also reported improvements in psychosocial measures like attitude towards illness, depression, self‐efficacy, and confidence in self‐management, 29,12 while one study found an insulin dose reduction 11 and another a body mass index increase 37 . Moreover, camp settings were noted to provide an ideal platform for T1D children and adolescents to develop friendships with other children facing the same health challenges, which helps them to develop a more positive approach towards their illness and life in general 56 …”

Changes in glycated hemoglobin, diabetes knowledge, quality of life, and anxiety in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes attending summer camps: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Diabetes summer camps provide children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes opportunities to learn about the disease and its management in a supportive environment to help improve glycemic control, self‐reliance, and quality of life. The objective of this quantitative review was to assess the advantages of attending summer camps and study any adverse psychological effects. Studies with a pre/post study design in children and adolescents attending summer camp were systematically reviewed. Five bibliographic databases were searched and relevant data extracted. Random effects meta‐analyses were used to combine the individual study results to derive pooled estimates and meta‐regression was used to explore between‐study heterogeneity. Studies in the literature report short‐term improvements in the glycemic control, diabetes knowledge (DK), quality of life (QOL) anxiety, diabetes self‐management, and self‐esteem. Thirty‐three studies were identified, and those outcomes reported in five or more studies were included in meta‐analyses. There were significant benefits with a pooled mean change for glycated hemoglobin (95% CI) of −0.59(−0.95,‐0.23)% (−6.4[−10.4,‐2.5]mmol/mol), and for standardized DK score of 1.99(1.28,2.70) but corresponding changes for QOL 0.17(−0.06,0.39) and for anxiety −0.32(−0.70, 0.06) were not significant. However, all outcomes showed considerable between‐study heterogeneity little of which was explained by study characteristics. The findings suggest short‐term benefits of camp on metabolic control, DK, QOL and anxiety in T1D children and adolescents, although the latter two were not statistically significant. Further research is warranted with more methodological rigor and longer‐term follow‐up to determine if there are long‐term benefits associated with camp attendance.
