Abstract

Parental self-efficacy is crucial in pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), yet few studies have examined its complex determinants using validated tools and multivariate analysis. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the factors associated with parental self-efficacy by applying the Parental Self-Efficacy Scale for Diabetes Management (PSESDM) in a clinical sample in Hungary. A total of 150 children with T1DM and their parents were enrolled from a single clinical pediatric diabetology centre. Data were collected on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, along with patient-reported outcome measures assessing parental capability well-being (ICECAP-A), health status (EQ-5D-5L), health literacy, fear of hypoglycemia, and children's diabetes-specific quality of life. In addition, treating diabetologists provided objective ratings of parental cooperation, knowledge, and disease management difficulty. Multiple linear regression revealed that higher parental self-efficacy was significantly associated with greater capability well-being and lower difficulty of the child's diabetes management, but not with socio-demographic characteristics and therapeutic modality. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating parental self-efficacy assessments using standard measurement tools, such as the PSESDM, into routine diabetes care. Identifying parents with lower selfefficacy may support early, targeted interventions to improve outcomes in pediatric diabetes management.
