This systematic review analyzed 26 studies on psychosocial interventions for parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) from 2019 to 2025. The review found that these interventions, primarily based on cognitive-behavioral frameworks, are linked to improvements in various parental psychosocial factors, although glycemic outcomes showed variability across studies.

Key findings

  • Interventions improved parental psychosocial factors such as diabetes distress and quality of life.
  • Glycemic outcomes were heterogeneous across the studies reviewed.
  • Most interventions utilized cognitive-behavioral frameworks and diverse delivery formats.
  • The evidence base reflects both heterogeneity and potential for adaptation in different contexts.

Why it matters

Understanding the impact of psychosocial interventions on caregivers can enhance support for families managing Type 1 Diabetes, potentially leading to better overall health outcomes for youth. Improved parental mental health may indirectly benefit glycemic control.
