Tiivistelmä
In Finland, Diabetes is seen as a major public health problem. It is said to affect the quality of life of those who have the disease and it increases the mortality rate in the country. According to the National Institute of Health and Welfare Finland, type 1 Diabetes in Finland is more common than in any other country due to the Finnish gene family. Children who are diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes usually receive guidance from the nurse. This helps them to manage their Diabetes and live a relatively normal life. Many of these children, however, do not fully receive the proper guidance for their condition. There might be certain factors that could explain this. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the factors which could influence the quality of guidance. The aim of this thesis is to help health care-givers to improve guidance of children with type 1 Diabetes.
