Study II was a psychometric evaluation of a Swedish version of the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) in a survey study in adult persons with type 1 diabetes.
#SIXTYFOUR TYP4 TRIAL#
Study I was a randomized controlled trial in which a cognitive behavioral intervention was evaluated on poorly controlled adult persons with type 1 diabetes.
It is also vital to identify factors associated with FOH in order to find targets for interventions to reduce fear.Aim: The overall aims of this thesis were to evaluate a CBT intervention for poorly controlled individuals with type 1 diabetes and to explore fear of hypoglycemia in an effort to gain deeper knowledge of possible targets for interventions to reduce FOH.Methods: All four studies applied quantitative designs. Thus there is a need for a valid and reliable instrument to assess individuals who are affected by FOH. One common barrier to optimal diabetes-management is fear of hypoglycemia (FOH), especially in those who have experienced severe hypoglycemic episodes. Interventions based on cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) have been proposed to improve diabetes-management, but evidence for its efficacy in adults with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes is sparse. Only a minority reach the goal for glycemic control set in order to reduce the risk of severe long-term complications. Introduction: Individuals with type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin supply as well as behavioral adjustments for good treatment result. 2012 (English) Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic) Abstract
