Description
Summary:Aims Study aims: (1) developing and validating a novel questionnaire for measuring fear of hyperglycaemia among parents of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) – the Hyperglycaemia Fear Survey – Parent version (FoHyper‐P); (2) investigating correlations between parental fear of hyperglycaemia and objective measures of glycaemic control. Methods A multi‐centre, multinational study of 152 parents of children with T1D was conducted in three large diabetes clinics from Israel, Poland, and Greece. Inclusion criteria were parents of children aged 6–16 years, at least 6 months from diagnosis, at least 3 months of CGM use and parental involvement in care. Parents filled the FoHyper‐P and the Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey – Parent Version (HFS‐P). Patient data were obtained via electronic medical records and informative questionnaires. Bonferroni correction was performed to counteract multiple comparisons. Results Significant strong‐moderate correlations were found between FoHyper‐P and HFS‐P including total questionnaires scoring (r = 0.747, pBonf
