Abstract
- Children with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their parent-caregivers often experience diabetes distress due to the daily demands of diabetes management. Regular screening for diabetes distress is needed to prevent the deterioration of metabolic control and the development of mental health disorders. The aim of this analysis was to examine the psychometric properties of the German versions of the Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale for Children (PAID-C) and for caregiver burden in Parents (P-PAID-C). Data were collected from 136 children aged 7-12 years (46.7% females) and 304 parents (Mage = 42.9 (SD 6.1) years; 78% mothers) by using linguistically translated questionnaires in a multicenter study. Confirmatory factor analysis and correlational analyses were conducted. Results confirmed the two-factor model for the PAID-C and the four-factor model for the P-PAID-C with a slight modification. Cronbach's αs for children and parents were 0.88 and 0.92, respectively. The PAID-C and P-PAID-C scores had small positive associations with HbA1c (rs = .220 and .139, respectively, all p < .05) and strong inverse association with the KIDSCREEN-10 index (r = -.643 and -.520, respectively, all p < .001). P-PAID-C scores increased with increasing depressive symptoms measured in nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire among parents (rs = .534, p < .001). The scores produced by the German PAID-C and P-PAID-C were reliable and valid in measuring diabetes burdens. These German versions of PAID can be utilized to assess diabetes-specific distress and to design interventions for children and their parents experiencing high levels of diabetes distress.
