Relationship to Diabetes
Good afternoon,

I have very kindly been permitted to post on this forum to ask for some willing volunteers to participate in some research. This is an online questionnaire study being conducted as part of a Masters in Health Psychology programme at the University of Surrey and has received all the necessary ethical clearance.

I have worked with children for over 10 years now in many capacities and am passionate about helping them in many contexts. My recent studies have led me explore diabetes and the effects it can have on young people - emotionally and socially. I am confident this research will help us to better understand the social needs of young people with diabetes and I am particularly interested in the effect pet dogs may have. There has been a recent boom in research concerned with the human-dog bond and I wish to explore what effect this bond may have on young people with diabetes.

To take part in the research you will need to
  • Have a child between 8-15 years of age with a diagnosis of diabetes for 6 months +
  • Be able to access the questionnaire online
  • Read English fluently enough to answer the questions

Responses to the questionnaire will be anonymous and your personal data will not be stored.

If you are willing to take part it will require yourself (the parent) to complete a questionnaire (7-8 mins) and your child to complete a questionnaire (10mins).


PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE PART OR WANT TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
I WILL THEN SEND YOU THE LINK TO THE ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRES.

Your support and co-operation is greatly appreciated. 🙂

Why dyou think I haven't got any?! Dealing with them at work is enough, thank you. I had to tell off a couple of boys yesterday, and I still feel bad this morning! 🙄

Is anyone eligible for this research?
 
Has the OP tried asking on 'Children with diabetes' ? - might have a bit more success recruiting participants there ?
