About

Adolescence period; It is a transition period of rapid growth, development and maturation in biochemical, physical, social and spiritual terms, which lasts from the beginning of puberty to young adulthood. Adolescence is a predictable developmental transition period for the individual. They also encounter unpredictable situations (such as childhood illnesses). One of these conditions is Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, which is the most common metabolic endocrine system disease in adolescents. Type 1 diabetes is an important health/disease transition in the life of a child and adolescent. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of the "Adaptation to Adolescence and Type 1 Diabetes Management Training Programme", prepared in line with Meleis's Transition Theory, on the adolescent's developmental transition adaptation, self-efficacy for diabetes management and glycemic control.
