The psychological resilience of the children in relation to the experimental group, the increase in the average scores of the experimental group in the post-measurement on the psychological resilience scale, the presence of statistically significant differences between the average ranks of the scores of the experimental group of children with diabetes in the two measurements before and after applying the program in the percentage of glycated hemoglobin in the blood, in the trend of the post-measurement: the average scores of the experimental group in the post-measurement decreased compared to the pre-measurement for the application of the program in the percentage of glycated hemoglobin in the blood.
