This randomized controlled trial assessed the Healthy Lifestyle Empowerment Program (HLEP) for mothers of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Tehran. The study involved 64 mothers, revealing that HLEP significantly reduced care burden and improved adherence to health-promoting behaviors over 12 weeks. The intervention group showed a notable improvement in health-promoting behaviors (p = 0.027).

Key findings

  • The intervention group experienced a significant reduction in care burden immediately and 12 weeks post-HLEP (p = 0.311).
  • Health-promoting behaviors improved significantly in the intervention group over time (p = 0.027).
  • The control group showed increased care burden (p = 0.000) and decreased health-promoting behaviors (p = 0.017).

Why it matters

Mothers of children with T1D often face high care burdens, impacting their well-being. Effective interventions like HLEP can enhance their health-promoting behaviors and reduce stress, which is crucial for both caregivers and patients.
