Abstract
This study investigated the effect of mother's coping resources, cognitive resources, family stress, and demographic variables on diabetes management and the mediating role of diabetes management on metabolic control among children with diabetes. Mothers (N = 59) completed self-report measures. HbA1c was obtained from the medical records. Although cognitive resources, coping resources, and family stress accounted for 30% of the variance in diabetes management, the hypothesis of mediation was not supported. The only significant predictor of HbA1c was African American race/ethnicity. The findings identify modifiable targets for practice and highlight the increased risk for poor metabolic control for minority children.
