Abstract

This intervention project consisted of four workshops for children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes held over a four month period in Winter/Spring 2011 and then another series of workshops for children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), parents of these children, and siblings held over four months in Fall 2011. Evaluations and feedback from participants have been positive and underscore the need to continue these workshops on an ongoing basis. Parental workshops were conducted by Christina Yazzie, a graduate student, who presented a poster on the intervention at the Western Institute of Nursing Conference in April, 2012. Workshops for the children with T1DM and their siblings were conducted by undergraduate students from the College of Nursing and the School of Education. Cristy Johnson, an undergraduate, completed an ORCA on the interventions and spearheaded a presentation, with the assistance of the other students, at the College of Nursing Research Conference held Fall 2011.
