Abstract Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes face challenges in managing their condition, requiring insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and lifestyle adjustments. This study assessed self-efficacy and diabetes self-management among 60 adolescents at a tertiary care hospital using a descriptive design and non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected through socio-demographic details, the Self-Efficacy Brazilian Scale, and a Self-Management Scale. Results showed that 45% of participants had low self-efficacy, while 55% demonstrated moderate levels. Regarding self-management, 35% had poor scores, and 65% had moderate scores. A significant positive correlation (p=0.01) was found between self-efficacy and self-management, suggesting that higher self-efficacy enhances adherence to self-management behaviours. These findings emphasise the importance of fostering adolescent self-efficacy to improve diabetes care. Tailored interventions to build self-efficacy can empower adolescents, promoting effective diabetes self-management and ensuring better long-term health outcomes in this critical developmental stage.
Keywords Adolescence, Type 1 diabetic mellitus, self-efficacy, self-management.
