Abstract: 
The aim of this pilot study was to develop and assess the preliminary psychometric properties of the Health Professional Support Questionnaire for diabetic children, an instrument to assess the perceived support from the health professional (doctor or nurse) attending children. A sample of 112 children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), recruited from several diabetes associations, completed the scale. The final version was found to have an adequate internal consistency and analysis revealed one primary factor which account for 40.53% of the variance.
