“…The aim of the present study was to determine the association between the experiences of adolescents and parents with paediatric diabetes care at hospital outpatient departments, and the association between these experiences and the HbA1c level of the adolescents. To our knowledge, only two previous studies have simultaneously assessed the associations between parent experiences, adolescent experiences and clinical outcomes for this patient group,9 12 and none of them were performed in Norway. Based on those previous studies, we hypothesised that there would be a correlation between the perceptions of parents and the adolescents about the quality of outpatient care, but no correlation with the HbA1c level.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to determine the association between the experiences of adolescents and their parents with paediatric diabetes care at hospital outpatient departments and the association between these experiences and the Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels of adolescents.DesignCross-sectional survey.SettingPaediatric diabetes care at hospital outpatient departments in Norway.ParticipantsParents of all outpatients registered in the Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry and patients in the same registry aged 12–17 years.Intervention1399 parents participated in a national pilot survey and 335 patients aged 12–17 years from the four largest paediatric outpatient departments in Norway responded in another pilot study. 181 paired parental and patient questionnaires were analysed.Main outcome measuresThe correlations between single items, indicator scores and overall scores were explored, as was that between indicator scores and HbA1c levels.ResultsThere was a moderate but significant correlation between the responses of the patients and parents. For 40 of the 42 associations the correlations were significant, ranging from 0.16 to 0.42. A weak but significant negative correlation was found between the indicator scores of parents and the HbA1c levels of the adolescents. The strongest correlations were between HbA1c level and nurse contact and organisation, both with a correlation coefficient of 0.21 (p<0.01). There was no significant correlation between HbA1c level and patient indicator scores.ConclusionsThese results highlight the need to obtain information from both parents and adolescents, and indicate that the views of adolescents are not always mirrored by their parents. Three of the seven parent experience indicators were significantly related to the HbA1c levels of adolescents, but replication in future research with larger sample sizes is warranted.

“…Patient satisfaction is an integral part of caring for children with diabetes that has been shown to underpin adherence to treatment regimes, though in one metropolitan study (13) it was not associated with improved clinical outcome.

Satisfaction of care in a tertiary level diabetes clinic: Correlations with diabetes knowledge, clinical outcome and health‐related quality of life

Abstract: Most patients and their parents in the RCH diabetes clinic appear generally satisfied with their diabetes care. The degree of satisfaction of care cannot be presumed according to clinical outcome, diabetes knowledge or HRQOL measures.
