| Abstract: | Objectives To examine how perceptions of parental responsibilityfor diabetes management are associated with age, pubertal status,adolescents’ self-efficacy, and parental perceptions ofadolescents’ efficacy, and if parental responsibilityis associated with better metabolic control as a function ofadolescents’ self-efficacy and parental perceptions ofadolescents’ efficacy. Methods Questionnairesassessing parental responsibility, pubertal status, adolescents’self-efficacy, and parental perceptions of adolescents’efficacy were given to 185 adolescents with type 1 diabetes,185 mothers, and 145 fathers. Results Greater parentalresponsibility was negatively associated with age, perceptionsof pubertal status, and efficacy for all reporters. Interactionsbetween parental responsibility and parental perceptions ofadolescents’ efficacy indicated that parental responsibilitywas associated with better metabolic control when adolescentswere perceived to have lower efficacy. Conclusions Adolescents’and parents’ perceptions of parental responsibility arerelated to multiple factors. Metabolic control is best whenhigh parental responsibility is maintained among adolescentswith lower efficacy. |
