About this study

Official title: Brief Self-Compassion Intervention for Adolescents With Diabetes Type 1 and Their Caregivers: Protocol for a Single Case Multiple-baseline Feasibility Study

The goal of this study is to examine the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a short (4 sessions) self-compassion intervention for adolescents with T1D and their caregivers on psychological, metabolic, and behavioral outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Type 1 Diabetes (TD1) has a significant impact on individuals dealing with this chronic metabolic condition, their families and the whole society. A particularly vulnerable group of individuals with TD1 are adolescents. The investigators created a short (4 sessions) self-compassion intervention for adolescents with T1D and their caregivers. Both feasibility and potential clinical effectiveness will be assessed using a single-case, multiple baseline experimental design where psychological, behavioral, and metabolic outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, post intervention, and 3- and 6-months follow ups. Moreover, ecological momentary assessment will be performed daily.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Psychological intervention (self-compassion based) in people with Diabetes type1, run by University of Valencia at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Self-report psychological variables: depression (caregivers ) (time frame: change in PHQ from pre (Day 1) to post (Day 30). Change in PHQ from post (Day30) to Follow up3 (Month 3). Change in PHQ from Follow up 3 (month 3) to Follow up6 (Month 6)). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jun 2022.
