Telehealth Family Coaching With Type 1 Diabetes

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

In brief

Telehealth is a delivery format that shows promise, and occupation-based coaching (OBC) is one intervention that can be delivered via telehealth. OBC is a collaborative coaching model with the therapist and the family (caregiver and child) that has been shown to improve positive child-caregiver interactions, caregiver competence with managing child health maintenance tasks, and improve engagement in meaningful everyday tasks (such as health maintenance tasks, self-care, and social participation). The goal of this pilot study is to improve child health outcomes and family quality of life for young children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Specifically, this pilot randomized control trial will provide valuable information about the preliminary effectiveness of occupation-based coaching (OBC) via telehealth to improve the quality of life of families and children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). It is hypothesized that OBC is an effective intervention that can be delivered to T1D families living in rural communities via telehealth methods.
