Having a child with type 1 diabetes is a challenge for parents. Despite various studies on the well-being of patients with type 1 diabetes, few focus on parents, who must face new daily responsibilities to maintain their children's glucose levels within an appropriate range. Therefore, this research aims to analyze potential relationships among parental stress, coping strategies, and subjective well-being of 74 parents with children aged 3 to 18 who have type 1 diabetes. Sociodemographic variables such as the age and gender of parents and children will be taken into account. The Parenting Stress Index - Short Form (PSI/SF) by Abidin (1995), the COPE-60 Scale (Carver et al., 1989), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985), and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) will be used. Results reveal that parental stress is inversely related to life satisfaction and directly related to negative affect. Coping strategies like “planning“ and “positive reinterpretation“ are associated with higher well-being. Negative affect is linked with avoidance strategies. Moreover, differences in study variables were found based on sociodemographic characteristics: parents' age is inversely associated with “activity suppression.“ Mothers experience more stress than fathers and employ certain strategies more frequently; fathers use “humor“ more. Children's age is inversely associated with “activity suppression“ and “instrumental social support seeking.“ No notable differences were found based on children's gender. Additional analyses considering specific sociodemographic variables were conducted. Significant differences were found based on parents' marital status and their perception of children's disease control.
