Core Tip
Core Tip: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease in children. T1DM children have complex medical care needs. They and their parents need to acquire more knowledge and skills before being discharged from the hospital. It is extremely challenging for children who are in an important stage of physical and psychological transformation and their families. The implementation of hospital discharge plan oriented to the needs of parental caregivers of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus can better prepare family caregivers for the transition from hospital care to self-management at home, thereby improving home self-management capabilities and children’s blood glucose control levels.
