Differences and Similarities Between Experiences of Mothers and Fathers of Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimManagement of paediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) requires a continuous and comprehensive care process that has a profound impact on family life dynamics. Understanding the heterogeneous experiences of parents is critical to optimizing children's adherence to treatment plans. The aim of the research was to determine the differences in the experiences of mothers and fathers of a child with T1DM.
designThis study, using a qualitative phenomenological design, was performed with 10 mothers and 10 children diagnosed with T1DM.
methodsResearch data were collected with a survey form and a semi-structured interview form. Data were analysed with the Nvivo 12 program.
resultsThe research identified three main themes of challenges, facilitators, and emotions related to the experiences of parents of children with T1DM. Mothers experienced more challenges about topics like the pain of finger pricks, not being able to find support, and diabetic nutrition, while fathers experienced challenges like financial burden and not being able to take leave from work. Both groups experienced similar emotions like shock, sadness, and fear of loss.
conclusionsIt is recommended to design psychosocial support programs for families of children with T1DM by noting the different experiences of parents. Strengthening mothers and fathers will ensure healthier management of the child's diabetes. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses should adopt family-centered approaches that support the active involvement of not only mothers but also fathers in the care process, alongside attending to the physical health of the child. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Mothers and fathers of children diagnosed with T1DM were interviewed and involved solely as research participants in the study.
