Abstract

Resilience and anxiety in mothers of children with type 1 diabetes Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and adolescence according to the American Diabetes Association (2009). This disease requires complex treatment, which involves a constant attention from children’s caretakers, especially their mothers (Garcia- Campayo, Sanz-Carrillo, & Tazon-Ansola, 2009). This attention implies an overload for the mother that involves a risk for the mother’s wellbeing. Type-1-diabetes children (T1DC) increase anxiety simptoms among their mothers. Hence, this work aims to know the level of both state/trait anxiety and resilience of mothers with T1DC; and the predictive relationship between resilience and anxiety of mother’s T1DC. A sample of 54 mothers with mean age 42,40 (SD=5,1), of T1DC from the Association of Diabetics of Jerez (ADIJE, Spain) filled the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970, 1982) and the Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale (1988). Outcomes showed that the participants presented medium-high levels of state anxiety and high trait anxiety. Mother’s T1DC scored moderate levels of resilience. Regarding the relationship between resilience and anxiety, Equanimity predicted a negative relationship to state anxiety levels, Confidence was negative related to trait anxiety levels. This work suggests that promoting resilience in mothers with T1DC can help to manage the anxiety symptoms among mothers. However, it is necessary to increase studies that include psychosocial variables that may would be involved in the anxiety regulation abilities of mothers with T1DC.
