الوصف: | Introduction International guidelines recommend structured and continuous educational programmes to expand diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy in youth. To address these recommendations within a paediatric diabetes clinic, we conducted a three-phase quality improvement project aimed at improving adolescents’ confidence in diabetes self-management skills.Methods In phase 1, the Diabetes Learning Centre (DLC), an educational programme for adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) ages 13–17 years, was developed and implemented. Programme feasibility was evaluated through programme attendance rates. Phase 2 aimed to guide ongoing programme development and optimisation. DLC attendees rated their baseline confidence in overall and individual T1D self-management skills on a 5-point Likert scale. Patient characteristics were summarised using descriptive statistics and the association between patient characteristics and overall confidence in T1D self-management was evaluated. Phase 3 used patient surveys to evaluate patient satisfaction and reported change in confidence in self-management skills following DLC attendance.Results In phase 1, 232 (81%) of eligible adolescents attended the DLC during the study period. In phase 2, median overall confidence in diabetes management on a Likert scale (0–4) was 3, representing ‘quite confident’, although confidence was low in some essential self-management skills. Higher confidence was associated with lower HbA1c (p |
