Background and Aim: Considering the increasing prevalence of diabetes, its complications and inappropriate treatment adherence in children, which can have significant effects on their disease outcomes, the researchers in this study were prompted to investigate the relationship between adaptation to disease and adherence to treatment in children with type 1 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 150 diabetic children referring to the clinic and endocrinology departments of educational and therapeutic centers affiliated with Amol University of Medical Sciences in 2024. Patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria, using purposive sampling method. To collect data, a demographic information questionnaire, a treatment adherence questionnaire in chronic diseases, and a disease adaptation questionnaire were used. The data were analyzed by SPSS-26 software, using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The results showed that adaptation to disease has a positive and significant correlation with treatment adherence (P=0.044, r=0.165).
Conclusion: Adaptation to disease can increase treatment adherence in children with diabetes and ultimately help them recover faster.
