Psychological interventions can promote adherence to the demands of diabetes self-care, promoting high quality of life and wellbeing. Methods: A systematic review was carried out to determine whether psychological treatments with a specific focus on emotional management have an impact on glycemic control and variables related to psychological adjustment. Comprehensive literature searches of PubMed Medline, Psycinfo, Cochrane Database, Web of Science, and Open Grey Repository databases were conducted, from inception to November 2019 and were last updated in December 2020. Finally, eight articles met inclusion criteria. Results: Results showed that the management of emotions was effective in improving the psychological adjustment of patients with T1DM when carried out by psychologists. However, the evidence regarding the improvement of glycemic control was not entirely clear. When comparing adolescent and adult populations, findings yielded slightly better results in adolescents. Conclusions: More rigorous studies are needed to establish what emotional interventions might increase glycemic control in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph182010940","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,19]],"date-time":"2021-10-19T22:52:47Z","timestamp":1634683967000},"page":"10940","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Psychotherapeutic Interventions to Improve Psychological Adjustment in Type 1 Diabetes: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0046-8020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Davinia M.","family":"Resurrecci\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Desir\u00e9e","family":"Navas-Campa\u00f1a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2631-0205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Menc\u00eda R.","family":"Guti\u00e9rrez-Colos\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7123-534X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joaqu\u00edn A.","family":"Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez-Alfonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Seville, Spain"},{"name":"Human Neuroscience Lab, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Desire\u00e9","family":"Ruiz-Aranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Universidad Loyola Andaluc\u00eda, 41704 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"778","DOI":"10.1111\/pedi.12879","article-title":"Comparison of the effect of a compact vs a conventional, long-term education program on metabolic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A pilot, randomized clinical trial","volume":"20","author":"Geremia","year":"2019","journal-title":"Pediatr.
