The Role of Parents (CI) Flashcards
Hastings et al (2005)
Children are more likely to rely on their family for social support meaning that they pick up the maladaptive/adaptive coping mechanisms used by their families
Picci et al (2013)
Found that most parents of children with a CI engaged in problem and emotion focussed coping (seeking social support, active coping, reinterpretation and growth)
Sikorova and Buzgova (2016)
Mutual levels of parent and child quality of life and the percieved burden of the illness influenced coping mechanisms - coping mechanisms were not always found to work
Medical staff should be trained to look out for the well-being of the child and the provision of information to the parents
Van Schoors et al (2017)
Systematic review of the family function effects on a childs ability to adjust to a cancer diagnosis
Greater family cohesion, expressiveness, support and reduced family conflict was related to better adjustment
Woodson et al (2015)
Parents of older children with a CI or a child with negative coping strategies report decreased family hardiness
This may be because older children have had a CI for longer and this has worn down the family
Crandell et al (2018)
Parental warmth, sturcture and autonomy encouragement all lead to positive factors associated with postiive treatment outcomes (such as increased quality of life, reduced depresssion and internalising and externalising behaviours)
Parental rejection, chaos and coersion were related to child behaviours associated with the sick role
Li et al (2017)
RCT on the Child-Cargiver Advocacy Resiliance (childCARE) intervention on children effected by HIV/AIDS
They found that resilience factors increased coping efficacy, increased self-esteem, increased hopefulness and increased self-control remained at a 6-12 month follow up
The intervention worked better if both the child and the cargiver took part
