Abstract

For patients with type 1 diabetes, sense of coherence (SOC), locus of control (LOC) and depression symptoms seem to be important variables in the context of compliance with a treatment regimen. The aim of this article is to describe the functioning of adolescents with type 1 diabetes—to define the common features and differentiating characteristics of the clinical group in comparison with the control group in terms of SOC, LOC and symptoms of depression. The other aim is to check whether LOC mediates the relationship between SOC and depression symptoms in the diabetics group. The study involved 100 adolescents aged 13–17. The clinical group contained adolescents with type 1 diabetes while the control group featured adolescents without diabetes. Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29), the Locus of Control Questionnaire (LOCQ) by Krasowicz and Kurzyp-Wojnarska and the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) by Kovacs were used. The groups did not differ in their SOC level but varied in the level of depression symptoms and LOC. The clinical and control groups had undetermined and external LOC, respectively. Diabetics also had a lower level of depression symptoms. SOC correlated positively with LOC and negatively with depression symptoms. Additionally, within the clinical group, LOC mediated the relationship between SOC and symptoms of depression. Determining the level of key health variables in type 1 diabetics is important in educating them how to manage their disease. With regard to adolescents without diabetes, the results confirm the need to intensify activities aimed at monitoring their mental state.

青少年1型糖尿病患者的一致性、控制点与抑郁症状

对于1型糖尿病患者来说，连贯感（SOC）、控制点（LOC）和抑郁症状似乎是遵守治疗方案的重要变量。本文的目的是描述青少年1型糖尿病的功能——确定临床组与对照组在SOC、LOC和抑郁症状方面的共同特征和鉴别特征。另一个目的是检查LOC是否介导糖尿病组SOC和抑郁症状之间的关系。这项研究涉及100名13-17岁的青少年。临床组包括患有1型糖尿病的青少年，而对照组则以没有糖尿病的青少年为特征。使用Antonovsky的连贯感量表（SOC-29）、Krasowicz和Kurzyp-Wojnarska的控制位点问卷（LOCQ）以及Kovacs的儿童抑郁量表（CDI）。两组的SOC水平没有差异，但抑郁症状和LOC的水平不同。临床组和对照组分别有未确定和外部LOC。糖尿病患者的抑郁症状也较低。SOC与LOC呈正相关，与抑郁症状呈负相关。此外，在临床组中，LOC介导SOC与抑郁症症状之间的关系。确定1型糖尿病患者的关键健康变量水平对于教育他们如何管理疾病很重要。关于没有糖尿病的青少年，研究结果证实有必要加强旨在监测其精神状态的活动。
