Book Synopsis Extreme Parenting by : Sharon Dempsey
Download or read book Extreme Parenting written by Sharon Dempsey and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [A] valuable addition to the literature on chronic paediatric illness... The book provides an in depth understanding of the path through chronic illness, illustrating the obvious effects on the child, but also the parents, siblings and the family as a whole across the spectrum from the psychological and social to the physical... There is much to be learnt from this book and it deserves careful reading.' - from the Foreword by Hilton Davis, Emeritus Professor of Child Health Psychology, King's College London Parents of children with chronic illnesses experience 'extreme parenting'. Parenting under extreme circumstances, like an extreme sport, challenges us to find our true strengths, to push ourselves physically and emotionally. This book is a guide and a source of support for parents of children with long-term illnesses. Sharon Dempsey argues that by helping parents to cope with their child's condition we are ultimately helping the child, and that parents are better able to live a full, enjoyable life if they have an awareness of strategies and knowledge to cope with the difficulties of dealing with their child with a chronic illness. The guide is packed with practical advice, models of exploration and lists of action points, and will empower parents to be good advocates for their children. It will also provide health professionals with invaluable insights into the demands of living with chronic illness.

Book Synopsis Tackling Chronic Disease in Europe by : Reinhard Busse
Download or read book Tackling Chronic Disease in Europe written by Reinhard Busse and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2010 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic conditions and diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, accounting for 86% of total premature deaths, and research suggests that complex conditions such as diabetes and depression will impose an even greater health burden in the future - and not only for the rich and elderly in high-income countries, but increasingly for the poor as well as low- and middle-income countries. The epidemiologic and economic analyses in the first part of the book suggest that policy-makers should make chronic disease a priority. This book highlights the issues and focuses on the strategies and interventions that policy-makers have at their disposal to tackle this increasing challenge. Strategic discussed in the second part of this volume include (1) prevention and early detection, (2) new provider qualifications (e.g. nurse practitioners) and settings, (3) disease management programmes and (4) integrated care models. But choosing the right strategies will be difficult, particularly given the limited evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. In the third part, the book therefore outlines and discusses institutional and organizational challenges for policy-makers and managers: (1) stimulating the development of new effective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, (2) designing appropriate financial incentives, (3) improving coordination, (4) using information and communication technology, and (5) ensuring evaluation. To tackle these challenges successfully, key policy recommendations are made.

Book Synopsis Problematic and Prosocial Behaviors in Chronically Ill Children by : Christina Elizabeth Baker
Download or read book Problematic and Prosocial Behaviors in Chronically Ill Children written by Christina Elizabeth Baker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The parents of chronically ill children deal with a vast array of issues regarding their child's wellbeing. In addition to the imminent and ongoing medical concerns, these parents face the challenge of managing child behavior problems as their children attempt to adjust to their illness and illness consequences. The present investigation views parents of chronically ill children as a broad population in order to more accurately assess the various psychological issues affecting these parents in order to fully understand the impact of a child's illness on their parents. Parenting stress and sense of self-efficacy were investigated as they relate to a chronically ill child's demonstrations of both pro social and problematic behaviors. One hundred and twenty-six parents caring for children with a wide range of chronic medical conditions participated in this nationally advertised survey. Results from the current study indicate that some of the behaviors demonstrated by chronically ill children significantly impacted parental reports of both perceived stress and sense of competency within their parenting role. The current study serves to not only increase our understanding of the impact of child behavior on parenting stress and efficacy, it further contributes to the empirical bases supporting the development of clinical interventions geared toward improving the well-being of parents caring for children with chronic conditions.

Book Synopsis Parenting Matters by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Book Synopsis Raising Children With Chronic Illness by : Dana Rogers Ph.D RN
Download or read book Raising Children With Chronic Illness written by Dana Rogers Ph.D RN and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an inspiring, heartfelt story of a mother's journey in raising two children who were diagnosed with very serious health problems at birth. The mother has a unique perspective as both a psychologist and registered nurse as she and her husband diligently worked to provide the best life possible for each child. The determination and perseverance this family showed in fighting for each child's very existence is quite remarkable. The youngest child who was born with a severe case of cystic fibrosis required a liver transplant as a teenager and later a double lung transplant in his early twenties. He is now thirty years of age doing well and working as a registered nurse. His older brother who had breathing trouble at birth contracted a virus later in childhood that resulted in ulcerative colitis requiring a complete colectomy. He is now thirty-two years of age. He is thriving and doing well working in the medical field. A nice dimension to the book is that each boy is interviewed and asked what it was like living with a chronic illness as a child and now as an adult. Each boy's advice to parents of chronically ill children is meant to be of support to parents in their life journey in raising their child.

Book Synopsis Coping Strategies Utilized by Parents of Chronically Ill Children by : Monica Rae Petroski
Download or read book Coping Strategies Utilized by Parents of Chronically Ill Children written by Monica Rae Petroski and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting is a challenging task that requires meeting both one's own basic needs, as well as the needs of another, more vulnerable human being. Raising a child who is chronically ill typically increases the time and effort required in caretaking children. Given parents of chronically ill children have greater demands and stressors with which to reconcile, these parents likely incorporate various coping strategies into their daily lives in order to remain successful in the various facets of their lives. The present study will investigate specific types of coping strategies utilized among a sample of parents of chronically ill children. Specific coping strategies will be examined, as well as overall use of adaptive and nonproductive strategies. The impact of strategy use on parent stress, depression, and self-efficacy will also be examined. One hundred and forty parents caring for children with a wide range of chronic medical conditions participated in this nationally advertised survey. A variety of both adaptive and maladaptive strategies were used among parents. Further, both adaptive and maladaptive strategies were found to have a relationship with parenting stress, depression, and parenting sense of competence.
Book Synopsis Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

Book Synopsis In the Shadow of Illness by : Myra Bluebond-Langner
Download or read book In the Shadow of Illness written by Myra Bluebond-Langner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing account of how families adapt to living with a chronically ill child What is it like to live with a child who has a chronic, life-threatening disease? What impact does the illness have on well siblings in the family? Myra Bluebond-Langner suggests that understanding the impact of the illness lies not in identifying deficiencies in the lives of those affected, but in appreciating how family members carry on with their lives in the face of the disease's intrusion. The Private Worlds of Dying Children, Bluebond-Langner's previous book, now considered a classic in the field, explored the world of terminally ill children. In her new book, she turns her attention to the lives of those who live in the shadow of chronic illness: the parents and well siblings of children who have cystic fibrosis. Through a series of narrative portraits, she draws us into the daily lives of nine families of children at different points in the natural history of the illness—from diagnosis through the terminal phase. In these portraits, as family members talk about their experiences in their own words, we see how parents, well siblings, and the ill children themselves struggle, in different ways, to contain the intrusion of the disease into their lives. Bluebond-Langner looks at how parents adjust their priorities and their idea of what constitutes a normal life, how they try to balance the needs of other family members while caring for the ill child, and how they see the future. This context helps us understand how well siblings view the illness and how they relate to their ill sibling and parents. Since the issues raised are not unique to cystic fibrosis but are common to other chronic and life-threatening illnesses, this book will be of interest to all who study, care for, or live with the seriously ill.
