“…While looking at the transitions individuals have encountered in young adulthood, the findings are similar to those found by others in the field with transitions such as: moving from home, attending college, having a child, transitioning to adult medical care, and graduating high school [5,8]. Interestingly, cost was not found to be a barrier of attendance by this young adult population.…”

“…Those individuals burdened with coping for their type 1 diabetes including the emotional distress, hormonal changes, and young adulthood life transitions have been shown to lead to a poorer quality of daily glycemic control if not addressed properly [5]. These distresses are often difficult to address by the medical providers and family members of individuals living with type 1 diabetes, making it even more complicated to address the needs for further support [6].…”

“…Young adulthood is a period in life commonly marked as one for decreased motivation and a lapse in proper glycemic control among individuals with T1D because of other overwhelming stressors such as: college, stigma, parental involvement, and medical provider interactions [6,5]. Young adulthood, also called emerging adulthood, is a time of life when transitions and personal development occur, generally between the ages of 18-25 or 18-30 [5]. While young adults may correlate this time period as being unstable, even more so because of their diabetes, they still do not consider their diabetes to limit their opportunities in life [9].…”

Objective: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been shown to have a significant and stressful impact on an individual's transition into young adulthood. Young adults are often experiencing new levels of independence and decision-making at this time. Insufficient research has been conducted on the use and impact of T1D support programs tailored to young adults in relation to the emotional impacts of the disease, access to programming, and desired outcomes of programs. This study assesses awareness, utilization, and emotional needs of T1D support programs tailored to young adults. Research Design and Methods:A cross-sectional analysis was performed on surveys collected through specific groups on Facebook (n=529). Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with participation in T1D support programs.Results: Approximately 41% of participants had been involved in a program or activity for young adults. The average age was 24 (range 18-30) with females being overrepresented (85%). Individuals who attended a T1D support program for young adults were more likely to disagree that: 1) their T1D keeps them from having a normal life; 2) they feel their T1D controls their life; 3) they feel their T1D takes up too much mental/physical energy; or 4) they need more peer-to-peer support with T1D. Conclusion:The findings highlight the importance for T1D support programs for young adults and the unique needs of a population with T1D. T1D support programs should be considered in combination with clinical support to better prepare individuals as they transition into young adulthood.

“…4 Family influence has been recognized as significant in shaping patterns of behavior of its members, including the health behaviors of teens and young adults. [6][7][8] Research suggests that parents who consider their adolescent's perspective and value the adolescent's opinion exhibit greater influence on their adolescent's internalization of academic, social, and health-related outcomes. [9][10][11] Internalization, the process by which a set of norms or values is adopted as one's own, may become solidified during later adolescence if proactive health behaviors are perceived by the adolescent in a manner that is supportive of the adolescent's need for advancing autonomy.…”

Parental influence to promote autonomy and self-determination in their children as they grow up may also motivate them to exercise and eat healthily. Unfortunately, nutritious dietary consumption and physical activity frequency tend to decline during the adolescent years and reaches its lowest level as the adolescent nears adulthood. In this study of 132 freshman and sophomore college students, the influence of parental autonomy support on overall adolescents self-determination was examined to determine whether self-determination influences adolescents' motivation to engage in healthy diet and exercise behaviors. Utilizing hierarchical multiple regression analyses, parental autonomy support was not predictive of older adolescents' motivation for diet and exercise; however, study results did indicate that parental autonomy support remains highly influential in adolescent self-determination (F[2, 130] = 22.21; P = 0.001) during early college years and that in this sample, adolescent self-determination is predictive of motivation for diet (t = 2.21; P , 0.05), but not exercise. Findings suggest that parental autonomy support continues to influence adolescent internalization of attitudes and behaviors during latter adolescence, but may play a lessor role in motivation for specific health-related behaviors as the adolescent nears adulthood. A better understanding of health motivation antecedents of adolescents may facilitate nurses develop new approaches to health-promotion strategies.

“…These studies have found that youth with diabetes are often not following up in a timely way with new providers even though they have access to this care. 3,8,9,[14][15][16] These individuals are also at risk for nonadherence with recommended visit frequency or disease self-management tasks, and have more diabetes-related hospitalizations after leaving pediatric care.…”
