Assessment of Type 1 Diabetic Children and Adolescents Satisfaction with Their Healthcare: Review Article

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has become a very crucial topic in the scientific community owing to its impact on public health. It's been estimated that about 79,100 kids below 15 years are diagnosed with T1DM worldwide each year. In fact, the global prevalence of diabetes increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. The WHO predicts that diabetes will rank as the seventh largest etiology of mortality by 2030. In Egypt, T1DM in children is estimated to affect 8/100,000 per year. Case satisfaction is increasingly significant and widely recognized as an essential indicator of medical care quality. The definition of patient satisfaction in literature has been inconsistent since it's concerned with different settings and aspects of care, and such care is provided by various professions. Patients' satisfaction is affected by the duration and efficiency of care and how empathetic and interactive health care providers are.
