ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how animated movies and storybooks can help reduce fear and anxiety in children who have just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The study involves children between the ages of 7 and 12 who are newly diagnosed with this condition. To participate, children need to have their parents' permission and be able to read and communicate in Turkish. However, children with certain health issues, like mental or communication impairments, cannot join the study.

If your child is eligible and decides to participate, they will engage with fun animated films and storybooks designed to make understanding diabetes easier and less scary. The goal is to see if these materials can help children feel more comfortable and less anxious about managing their condition. This study is currently looking for interested families to take part.
