Book excerpt: This study was designed to examine: how siblings of chronically ill children cope with decreased parental availability, disruption to daily routines, and worries about the ill sibling; whether siblings cope differently with each of these three situations; what type of coping strategies siblings perceive as effective; the relation between psychological adjustment and the use of problem-focused and emotion-focused strategies; and the incremental variance in siblings' psychological functioning accounted for by siblings' coping strategies after controlling for age and gender. The study also explored how coping differs as a function of secondary appraisal and whether there are gender differences in coping. The Cognitive Appraisal Model of stress and coping guided the study. 110 participants (56 girls and 54 boys), 8--12 years old, completed the Kidcope, the Children's Depression Inventory, and the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, and parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist. Results indicate that siblings' coping strategies explain a significant proportion of the variance in externalizing (14%) and internalizing (7%) behaviour problems after siblings' age and gender are controlled for, though coping is not related to child-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety. The most frequently used coping strategies are cognitive restructuring and wishful thinking. Other commonly utilized strategies are social support, distraction, problem solving, emotional regulation, and social withdrawal. Of these, social support is perceived as the most helpful in dealing with decreased parental availability and disruptions to routines, and cognitive restructuring as the most helpful in dealing with worries. Siblings employ significantly more emotion--than problem-focused strategies in dealing with all situations, though the use of problem--or emotion-focused coping is not related to secondary appraisal. Problem-focused coping in dealing with disruptions and worries is associated with higher parental reports of externalizing problems, whereas the use of emotion-focused coping in dealing with these two situations is associated with fewer such reports. There are no gender differences with regard to the relative use of problem--or emotion-focused coping. Research and clinical implications of these findings, as well as the insights and limitations of this study, are considered in the discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting the interplay between basic research and intervention, this volume focuses on common stressful life experiences that present significant challenges to children's healthy development. Fifteen stressors are discussed with regard to both short-and long-term effects. The authors identify factors that explain variability in children's adjustment to these stressors and evaluate preventive interventions designed to facilitate coping. Notable chapters include a discussion of the many uncontrollable stressors to which inner-city youth are exposed and a thorough treatment of children's adaptation to divorce. Each chapter follows a common outline, allowing comparison among stressors.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic illnesses affect the sick-child's entire family, including his or her siblings. Research has revealed illness parameters and well-sibling demographic factors that may impact the psychosocial adjustment of well-siblings. The present study examined well-sibling age and gender, illness severity, and time since diagnosis to predict well-sibling quality of life. Coping was used to predict well-sibling adjustment after controlling for significant demographic or illness parameters that were predictors of well-sibling adjustment. Types of coping examined included approach and avoidance coping styles, total number of coping strategies, and a relative coping ratio of avoidance coping styles. Potential differences in well-sibling adjustment according to informant were also examined, including parent-report and self-report. Participants included 43 well-siblings of children with cystic fibrosis, aged 7 to 19 years, who presented in a children's hospital's cystic fibrosis clinic. Well-siblings completed assessments quality of life and strategies for coping with cystic fibrosis. Parents completed demographic questionnaires and quality of life assessments for both the sick-child and the well-sibling. Results found that well-sibling age and total number of coping strategies used were significant predictors of adjustment. Well-sibling adjustment as measured by quality of life was more impaired than previous studies found that examined psychopathology, and well-sibling self-report was significantly more impaired than parent-report of adjustment. These data emphasize the importance of obtaining quality of life ratings directly from the well-sibling rather than relying on parental report. Future research should incorporate measures of well-siblings' knowledge of the illness and well-siblings' ratings of severity of the illness. Additionally, future intervention studies should seek to incorporate coping curriculum to help improve well-sibling adjustment.

Download or read book How Do Families Cope With Chronic Illness? written by Robert E. Cole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because chronic disorder is becoming an ordinary feature of family life and development, understanding its impact has become critical. This volume, and the conference proceedings it reports, represents a major effort to examine the family's response to chronic physical or psychopathological illness in one or more of its members. Recent data are revising our notions of chronic illness. Evidence is mounting that chronic psychiatric disorders reflect, in part, abnormalities of brain structure and function. In this sense, they are, in part, medical disorders. On the other hand, a number of traditionally labeled medical disorders produce a broad range of psychological symptoms and are exquisitely sensitive to psychosocial influences. Families undergo a complex process of adaptation during which their response to stress and their fundamental beliefs about learning and parenting change. These beliefs endure and are difficult to alter. By examining the processes in a wide range of chronic conditions, this volume helps to identify the common, underlying processes of adaptation. The first three chapters concern the families' responses to disorders that are distinctly medical; the next three focus on families' responses to "grey zone" disorders or anomalies that appear early in life, minor physical anomalies, and communication handicaps; and one chapter focuses exclusively on schizophrenia. The last chapter reflects an effort to develop a model based on the experience of researchers with both psychiatric and medical illness.

Book excerpt: Despite the rise of clinical interest in posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic stress in children, there has been little attention paid to the impact of sibling death as a traumatic event. Although there is much evidence that children suffer long-lasting consequences of such trauma as divorce or the loss of a parent, the loss of a sibling has not been the topic of substantial clinical or research attention. The sibling relationship has only begun to receive research and theoretical attention. The complexities of the sibling bond as it changes and evolves over the life-span have only begun to be explored. The death of a child has generally been considered one of the most stressful events encountered by families in our society. The chronicity of illnesses such as cystic fibrosis is in a sense new, an outgrowth of recent advances in medical treatment which have considerably extended the lives of children stricken with leukemia, cystic fibrosis, HIV-infection, diabetes, and others. This book explores the long-term consequences of chronic illness followed by the death of a sibling on adult adjustment. The illness and loss of the child will have a direct impact on the siblings, dependent upon their own capacity to give meaning to its occurrence and to mourn the loss effectively. In addition, the sibling's world will be inexorably shaped by the handling of the illness and loss by the parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a relatively brief period of time pediatric psychology as an organized field has evolved and expanded as a science and in clinical practice. Reflecting a newer focus on family roles in health and illness, the present volume is relevant to a variety of fields because family issues and pediatric medicine inherently interact with numerous disciplines and approaches. This volume fills the need for a resource indicating research advancements that links pediatric psychology and pediatrics with family issues. The articles -- selected from special issues of Pediatric Psychology -- cover such topics as chronic illnesses and handicapping conditions, failure to thrive, spina bifida, recurrent abdominal pain, and health promotion. These pediatric conditions are considered in terms of concomitant psychosocial effects on parents and siblings, family resources and environment, adjustment and maladjustment, interventions and programming utilizing and assisting families.
