Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To document the relationship between discrepancies in mother and adolescent perceptions of diabetes-related decision-making autonomy, diabetes-related conflict, and regimen adherence. METHODS: The sample was composed of 82 mother-adolescent dyads. Measures included adolescent and mother reports of diabetes-related decision-making autonomy, diabetes-related conflict, and regimen adherence. Nurses' reports of adherence and number of glucose tests performed each day were also obtained. RESULTS: Discrepancies between mother and adolescent perceptions of decision-making autonomy were related to greater maternal report of diabetes-related conflict. In particular, when adolescents reported that they were more in charge of decisions than reported by their mothers, mothers reported more conflict. Discrepancies between mother and adolescent perceptions of decision-making autonomy were not related to regimen adherence. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that discrepancies between mother and adolescent perceptions of diabetes-related decision-making autonomy may be a potentially important area for intervention.
