The mean score of self-efficacies in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
The results of the study suggested that group hope therapy had a significant impact on self-efficacy of adolescents with type 1 diabetes but had no effect on academic self-efficacy and self-efficacy in blood glucose management.
