Sažetak
Aim. The aim of this study is to investigate the satisfaction
of primary caregivers of children and adolescents
with type 1 diabetes mellitus regarding healthcare
services.
Methods. The study was conducted within the Association
of Children and Youth with Diabetes in the
Sarajevo Canton from October 23, 2021, to February
28, 2022. The study included 50 primary caregivers,
49 mothers and one father, with an average age of
41.28 ± 5.64. A generic questionnaire for assessing
parental satisfaction with healthcare provided to
their children, the PedsQLTM Healthcare Satisfaction
Generic Module, was used. The statistical analyses
used to analyze the data included multiple linear regression,
ANOVA test, and t-test.
Results. Satisfaction with healthcare services was
assessed with average ratings on a scale of 0 to 100
but with wide ranges of scores (59.46±24.34, ranging
from 16.67 to 98.96). The results showed that
two variables play a crucial role in predicting satisfaction
with healthcare services: meeting emotional
needs (relative contribution=29.8) and satisfaction
with information (relative contribution=27.3).
Conclusion. An individualized approach and a collaboration
with parents of children and adolescents
with type 1 diabetes mellitus are necessary to improve
the parental experience and their satisfaction
with healthcare services.
