Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the BEM method on stress and well-being in parents of children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes, compared to a standard group approach focused on therapeutic education (control group). The BEM Program involves an experiential, group-based approach facilitated by 2-3 trained facilitators and a maximum of 25 parent participants. Each session takes place over three consecutive days and includes both plenary sessions with the entire group and smaller subgroup activities. Metodology of BEM approach includes: relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and guided visualizations NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques: spatial anchoring, Time Line therapy, and future pacing. Approaches based on Transactional Analysis (T.A.) and Systemic-Relational frameworks, brief interventions focused on problem-solving. Techniques for enhancing bodily and emotional awareness. Interactive group discussions. The control intervention will take place during a camp specifically dedicated to parents, with the same duration as the BEM program. The intervention includes educational and informational sessions on key aspects of type 1 diabetes management (management of acute complications, importance of glycemic indices, carbohydrate counting, current and emerging perspectives in type 1 diabetes care). In addition, the program includes opportunities for parents to share personal experiences and participate in recreational activities.
