- A family approach was applied to examine youth, maternal, and paternal control perceptions in relation to type 1 diabetes outcomes in adolescents and emerging adults. Mean levels of personal and treatment control were compared among patients and parents. Their associations with diabetes outcomes were examined as well.The sample included 330 patient-mother-father triads. Patients' (48% male) mean age was 18.25 years (SD=2.98). All respondents reported on their control perceptions and youth treatment adherence. Physicians provided HbA1c-values.Paired-samples t-tests revealed higher personal control in patients compared to parents. Regression analyses examined if control perceptions predicted treatment adherence and HbA1c. Main effects for patient and maternal personal control and two-way interactions showed the best outcomes when both patients and mothers reported high personal control. Main effects of patient, maternal, and paternal treatment control and three-way interaction terms revealed better outcomes in case of high treatment control in patients and at least one parent, while the poorest outcomes were observed in case of low treatment control in all respondents.The findings highlight the importance of parental control perceptions on top of patients' own perceptions. A family perspective on illness perceptions and their associations with diabetes outcomes is encouraged.

- This study examined associations between the functioning of youth with type 1 diabetes and their parents, including parenting dimensions as intervening mechanisms. The study adds to the existing literature by focusing on (1) the concept of parental illness intrusiveness; (2) the (understudied) periods of adolescence and emerging adulthood; and (3) maternal and paternal functioning.Questionnaires were completed by 317 patient-mother dyads and 277 patient-father dyads. All patients (aged 14-25) had type 1 diabetes. The hypothesised model was compared to an alternative model using structural equation modelling.Youth reported on depressive symptoms and treatment adherence; Physicians provided HbA1c-values. Parents reported on illness intrusiveness, depressive symptoms, and their child's treatment adherence. Patients and parents reported on psychological control and overprotection.The hypothesised path model had a good fit to the data. Parental illness intrusiveness was positively associated with depressive symptoms and both were positively related to overprotection and psychological control. Psychological control was positively related to patients' depressive symptoms and negatively to treatment adherence. Poorer treatment adherence was associated with worse HbA1c-values.These findings underscore the relevance of parental illness intrusiveness and emphasise the importance of mothers' and fathers' roles throughout adolescence and emerging adulthood.
