Organized camping programs serving families with an adolescent living with diabetes are uniquely positioned to enhance management of the disease. Autonomy support has been found to be an essential nutriment for internalization of self-management skills necessary to limit severe complications of poor diabetes control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to two fold: to explore adolescent and parent satisfaction with a family diabetes camp and to assess perceptions of autonomy support while in camp. Using a mixed methods approach, the findings suggest adolescents and parents were pleased with the camp experience, and researchers found congruence in adolescents' and parents' perceptions of autonomy support. These findings aid recreation and camp professionals in better meeting the needs of families in camp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
