This study analyses the relationship between stress causes from diabetes mellitus I, coping and self-care behavior in 10 adolescents who answered the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire, Questionnaire on Stress in Patients with Diabetes-Revised, Adolescent/Child’s Self-Report Responses to Stress-Diabetes, with linguistic validation, and Coping Diabetes Scale for Adolescents, based on the Motivational Theory of Coping. Low self-caring adhesion was detected. Main stressors are hypoglycemia, therapy regime and body complaints, all of which threat the psychological basic need of competence and produced anger. Adolescents cope inadequately with the therapy regime and lessen adhesion to physical activities. Stress causes related to anxiety/depression had the greatest number of correlations, particularly involuntary responses to stress and disengagement. Current analysis of motivational variables of adhesion to treatment provides prescriptive data for interventions with the population concerned.
