| Examine the effects of patients' attachment styles (secure, mixed and fearful) on their type one diabetes management represented by A1C level | The following tool will be used - Relationship Scale Questionnaire (RSQ): The 30-item RSQ is valid and reliable. 76 Re-test reliability of the RSQ ranged from 0.54 to 0.78 and correlation coefficients of RSQ and RQ ranged from 0.41 to 0.6191. Adolescent Relationship Scale Questionnaire (A-RSQ): Sümer & Güngör (1999) used the A-RSQ and report validity of 0.7-0.95 as well as an internal consistency of 0.82. | 25 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| a) Effect of attachment style on self efficacy level in patients. | The following tool will be used - Self-Efficacy of Diabetes Self-Management (SEDM): This is a 10-item questionnaire that is used to assess perceived self-efficacy to preform diabetes care behaviours. Respondents are asked to score responses on a 1-10 Likert scale in which '1= not at all sure' to '10= completely sure'. | 25 minutes |

| b)Compare diabetes management self-efficacy and attachment style in patients. | To compare diabetes self-efficacy (SEDM) in patients and their parents, paired t-tests will be calculated. In addition, to compare attachment styles in patients and their parents, McNemar's test will be used. Paired t-tests and McNemar's tests effectively take into account the correlations between parent-adolescent measures from the same family. | 25 minutes |
