Diabetes care in kindergartens and schools from the perspectives of teachers 1Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School, Department of Health Economics, University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary; 2Institute of Psychology, Department of Personality, Clinical and Health Psychology, University of Szeged, Szeged, 6720, Hungary; 3Institute of Psychology, Department of Personality and Health Psychology, Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Education and Psychology, Budapest, 1064, Hungary Providing care for children with type 1 diabetes requires constant attention. Teachers play a crucial role in the institutional socialization of children living with diabetes. Deficient diabetes management in schools may cause several troublesome consequences, such as absenteeism, stress or depression, poor performance and low quality of life. Therefore, understanding teachers' attitudes towards diabetes care may be essential for proper diabetes management. In this study, we explored the attitudes of teachers towards diabetes care by conducting semi-structured interviews (3 focus groups and 20 individual interviews) with 30 teachers working in kindergartens and schools. We performed qualitative content analysis based on the theory of the three components of attitude - knowledge, emotions, and behavior. The knowledge component included general knowledge about diabetes and its care, and the affective component revealed empathy and both integrating and segregating approaches towards children with diabetes. The behavior component revealed how teachers contribute to the care and integration of children with diabetes in schools, such as supporting them through health awareness education and peer sensitization. Our findings suggest that, in addition to diabetes management tasks, teachers can help children with type 1 diabetes by educating them and their peers about healthy living and acceptance. 5:30pm - 5:45pm

The failure of such research to account for mental illness experiences of those affected by racism, cisheterosexism, homophobia and transphobia suggests different methodologies and evidence are needed to be better understand illness as experienced by racial, sexual, and gender minority people. This paper presents examples drawn from case study analysis in a project exploring access to mental health care for lesbian, bisexual, and trans people in Ontario Canada. The case study method shaped focused, purposeful engagement with experiences of racial minority LGBT people and their stories of mental illness. The within and across-case analyses transformed reports of depression into contextualized narratives of suffering in environments that allow gender-based violence, hopelessness, and long-term despair. The evidence of this research points to avenues of inquiry and intervention with racial, sexual and gender minority clients that could promote mental health and well- 5:45pm - 6:00pm
