High health satisfaction among emerging adults with diabetes: Factors predicting resilience.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was conducted to identify factors contributing to health satisfaction outcomes among emerging adults (ages 18-25) with diabetes.

Method

SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study participants whose diabetes was prevalent in 2001 and were ≥18 years of age when they completed a 2008-2009 follow-up survey (n = 340) were included. We developed a health resilience model (HRM) to identify potentially modifiable factors (anticipatory guidance, social support, physical activity, quality of life) associated with health outcomes (satisfaction with health care, overall personal health, self-report of hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]).
