Abstract

This study aims to determine the self respect levels in children with Diabetes Type 1. The study sample consisted of 150 children selected with random sampling who applied to the endocrinology clinics of two hospitals in Izmir. The average age of the children with Diabetes Type 1 was 13.38±2.54. Among all children who participated in the study, 56.7% were girls and 66% were attending primary schools. In our study, it was found that the average score of self respect in children with Diabetes Type 1 was X= 61.33±18.00. As a result, it was noted that the self respect levels in children with Diabetes Type 1 are considerably lower than healthy children in related studies, and that lower levels of self respect have an effect on school attendance, too.
