Core Tip This study explores the psychological factors that contribute to diabetic ketoacidosis in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, focusing on a population in Saudi Arabia. Using the health belief model, the research examines perceived severity and susceptibility, while introducing perceived understanding of diabetes management as a novel cognitive factor. The findings reveal that a caregiver’s understanding of diabetes management plays a more significant role in preventing diabetic ketoacidosis than risk perception alone. These insights suggest that enhancing comprehension through targeted education could improve adherence and reduce complications, offering a more patient-centered approach to pediatric diabetes care.
