Abstract

The conditions of the announcement of the diagnosis of diabetes in children and teenagers are key to helping them live as best as possible with the constraints of this chronic disease. The psychologist works as a mediator in order that the suffering of the child and their family is listened to and contained within the nursing team. This support facilitates the adaptation and reorganisation of their day-to-day life.

Keywords: adolescent; annonce; announcement; child; chronic disease; diabetes; diabète; enfant; family reorganisation; insulin; insuline; maladie chronique; réorganisation familiale; teenager.
