“…In a recent literature review, the most relevant physiological or behavioral changes were found in individuals who had participated in more than one summer camp for children and adolescents with diabetes. 9 Reports from mothers are in agreement with the statements made by children and adolescents themselves, the majority of which, in the experience of researchers working in these camps, expressed their desire to participate in such activity again.…”

Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was performed, in which individual semi-structured interviews with seven mothers were carried out. The themes emerged were coded and grouped by similarity into categories and subcategories, totaling twelve categories. Results: This study showed the importance of the camp to promote self-care. It also revealed that the benefits of such camp extended to all participants involved in this activity. Final considerations:The summer camp proved to be important to promote self-care for children and adolescents with diabetes and it enabled the reflection on how to improve this type of education, so that the knowledge and skills in diabetes developed by children and adolescents can be even more effective and long-lasting. acampamento para promover a educação do autocuidado da criança/adolescente com diabetes, e os benefícios decorrentes dessa experiência, como promoção da independência, melhor controle e aceitação da doença, prazer em participar e extensão dos benefícios à família. Considerações finais: O acampamento mostrou-se importante para promoção do autocuidado da criança/adolescente com diabetes e possibilitou a reflexão sobre como aprimorar essa modalidade educacional para que os conhecimentos e habilidades em diabetes desenvolvidos pela criança/adolescente possam ser ainda mais eficazes e duradores.

“…7 The meeting with young leaders or monitors who share the same health condition, presents itself as essential to the promotion of fun in a camp and can show different ways of dealing with their condition and how to exist in the world, and can serve as an example and inspiration for new possibilities that present themselves to these teenagers. 7,9,10,12,13 The sharing of experiences in a context of understanding, acceptance and empathy favors the creation of positive and pleasurable emotional connections. 10,11 As it is an environment permeated by positive, intense and long social relationships, the camp is an excellent opportunity for the development of friendships, 10,12,23 which precisely goes against the difficulties, such as social isolation, often experienced by children and adolescents with chronic health conditions.…”

Resumo Objetivo compreender as experiências de adolescentes com doenças crônicas de pele que participaram de acampamento. Método estudo fenomenológico, com seis adolescentes com diagnóstico de doença crônica de pele, participantes de acampamento no Brasil. Coleta de dados: foram realizadas entrevistas fenomenológicas, no período de julho de 2015 a janeiro de 2016. Resultados três categorias temáticas emergiram e possibilitaram a compreensão do fenômeno. Participar do acampamento acarreta mudança na vida dos adolescentes e em seus modos-de-ser no mundo cotidiano. Impulsiona-os a refletir sobre o estigma já vivenciado anteriormente e as novas experiências, após participarem do acampamento, os auxilia no enfrentamento dos desafios da própria vida de maneira mais otimista. Conclusão Para os adolescentes, a experiência de participar do acampamento é transformadora, devido à possibilidade do encontro com pares e de vivenciar um ambiente livre de preconceito, permitindo ao adolescente ser si-mesmo. Implicações para prática Os acampamentos promovem interação entre pares, sendo estratégias acessíveis para profissionais de saúde, especialmente aos enfermeiros. Intervenções que, de fato, promovam assistência integral à saúde de crianças e adolescentes com condições crônicas de saúde e seus familiares, além da articulação entre serviços de complexidades distintas e seus profissionais de saúde, podem garantir o acesso ao cuidado de qualidade.

“…Diabetes camps provide a safe environment for children with T1DM to learn the skills and habits necessary for good diabetes care, as well as a place for recreational activities. Today, there are roughly 185 different camps in the United States, with over 25 000 children attending each year . While the evidence is mixed on the short and long term effects of diabetes camp on glycemic control, several studies have demonstrated lasting improvement in psychosocial outcomes and diabetes knowledge after attending diabetes camp.…”

Background/Objectives Children attending diabetes camp are more active, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Decreasing initial insulin doses may reduce this risk. The objectives of our study were to compare glycemic control between campers receiving multiple daily injections (MDI) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), and analyze the impact of decreasing basal insulin by 10%. Methods We analyzed 849 camp sessions (599 children, 5‐19 years old) from Camp Sweeney's 2016/2017 summers. Campers were separated into groups by year and insulin route (MDI_2016, MDI_2017, CSII_2016, and CSII_2017). The MDI_2016 group had initial basal insulin decreased 10%, while CSII_2016, MDI_2017, and CSII_2017 did not. Time spent in blood glucose ranges and area under the curve (AUC) were compared by year and insulin route using ANOVA. We also performed repeated measures ANOVA using campers who attended both years. Results No significant differences in time spent in any glucose range could be attributed to the initial 10% basal decrease, including on paired analysis. MDI_2017 had more decreases to basal insulin than the other groups. CSII campers had higher AUC and more hyperglycemia than MDI campers. Conclusions Campers on MDI may benefit from decreasing basal insulin, either at the beginning of camp or during the first week. Future research is needed to optimize glycemic control in the camp setting.
