Abstract
Objective: Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have risk for elevated negative affect, and mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) may be effective interventions. The aim of this case series was to (1) highlight individual changes in negative affect (depression, anxiety, and stress), mindfulness, and diabetes outcomes (diabetes distress, diabetes self-management, and HbA1c) after participating in an MBI and (2) highlight the utility of MBI in historically marginalized populations.
Methods: Cases were chosen from a sample of adolescents with T1D and elevated negative affect who took part in a pilot randomized controlled trial of an MBI. Individuals were selected due to adherence to study protocol, similar baseline scores on target outcomes, and demographic similarities that indicate historical marginalization. The participants were two 12-14-year-old girls with T1D, one identifying as Black/African American, "Jayla," and one identifying as biracial Latinx/Hispanic, "Valerie" who participated in a 6-7 session virtual group MBI. Participants completed surveys at baseline, post-intervention, and three months post-intervention.
Results: Jayla and Valerie demonstrated improvements in multiple domains including depression, anxiety, stress, mindfulness, diabetes distress, and diabetes self-management. We observed small improvements in HbA1c and disordered eating in Valerie, but not in Jayla.
Conclusions: This case series demonstrates the potential utility of MBI in adolescents with T1D and negative affect, particularly those experiencing increased burden of SDOH.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology® publishes articles representing the professional and applied activities of pediatric psychology. The journal comprehensively describes the breadth and richness of the field in its diverse activities;complements the scientific development of the field with information on the applied/clinical side;provides modeling that addresses the ways practicing pediatric psychologists incorporate empirical literature into day-to-day activities;emphasizes work that incorporates and cites evidence from the science base; andprovides a forum for those engaged in primarily clinical activities to report on their activities and inform future research activities. Articles include a range of formats such as commentaries, reviews, and clinical case reports in addition to more traditional empirical clinical studies. Articles address issues such as: professional and training activities in pediatric psychology and interprofessional functioning;funding/reimbursement patterns and the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of clinical services;program development;organization of clinical services and workforce analyses;applications of evidence based interventions in "real world" settings with particular attention to potential barriers and solutions and considerations of diverse populations;critical analyses of professional practice issues;clinical innovations, e.g., emerging use of technology in clinical practice;case studies, particularly case studies that have enough detail to be replicated and that provide a basis for larger scale intervention studies; andorganizational, state and federal policies as they impact the practice of pediatric psychology, with a particular emphasis on changes due to health care reform.
