Do young people living with type-1 diabetes experience integrated care? The importance of integrating psychological support into interdisciplinary teams
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic, incurable autoimmune condition, typically diagnosed in childhood and managed in paediatric services until ages 16–18 years, when young people (YP) transition to adult services. Maintaining tight glucose control and avoiding hypoglycaemia is challenging around this time as YP face psychosocial challenges and significant life-stage changes. International guidelines suggest that YP and their clinical…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention in adolescents with type 1 diabetes
A considerable proportion of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience emotional problems due to the continual demands of the disease, which may persist throughout life without appropriate support. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention and provide early indications of its capacity to impact psychosocial outcomes for adolescents with T1D. Twenty-two par…
Priority setting for children and young people with chronic conditions and disabilities
BACKGROUND: The aim of this project was to identify the top 10 priorities for childhood chronic conditions and disability (CCD) research from the perspectives of children and young people with lived experience, their parents and caregivers and the professionals who work with them. METHODS: We conducted a three-stage study based on the James Lind Alliance priority-setting partnership methods. It comprised two online surveys (n = 200; n = 201) and …
Diabetes stigma predicts higher HbA1c levels in Australian adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Mind the distance
Objectives Following the outbreak of COVID-19, social distancing restrictions limited access to face-to-face mental health services in Western Australia (WA), necessitating a rapid transition to non-face-to-face alternatives, including telehealth. The current study investigated barriers and facilitators to telehealth access and engagement, and preferences for child and youth mental health service delivery during and beyond COVID-19.Methods Three …
Investigating associations between birth order and autism diagnostic phenotypes
BACKGROUND: Birth order effects have been linked to variability in intelligence, educational attainment and sexual orientation. First- and later-born children have been linked to an increased likelihood of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis, with a smaller body of evidence implicating decreases in cognitive functioning with increased birth order. The present study investigated the potential association between birth order and ASD diagnos…
Deconstructing the repetitive behaviour phenotype in autism spectrum disorder through a large population‐based analysis
OBJECTIVE: Restricted and repetitive pattern of behaviours and interests (RRB) are a cardinal feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but there remains uncertainty about how these diverse behaviours vary according to individual characteristics. This study provided the largest exploration to date of the relationship between Repetitive Motor Behaviours, Rigidity/Insistence on Sameness and Circumscribed Interests with other individual characteris…
