Book The Impact of Family Centered Care on the Perception of Health in Children with Chronic Illness

Download or read book The Impact of Family Centered Care on the Perception of Health in Children with Chronic Illness written by Erika T. Brink and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was to better understand medical provider use, or nonuse, of Family Centered Care (FCC) (Kuo et al., 2012) and how it relates to a parent's perception of the overall health of their child. Children with Special Healthcare Needs (CSHCN) and Children with Medical Complexity (CMC) face additional complexities as they interact and navigate the healthcare system. The present study sought to better understand how medical professionals can help ease the burdens these families face as they seek medical care. This study used archival data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) to conduct a linear regression. The results indicated parental perception of care contributes to 3% of the overall health of the child. Findings suggest medical providers who effectively utilize the core tenets of FCC may be able to positively influence parental perception of their child's health through the patient-provider relationship.

Book Families of Chronically Ill Children

Download or read book Families of Chronically Ill Children written by Christine C. Foster and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study tested the hypotheses that mothers of chronically ill children who reported high use of normalization by their families had higher levels of perceived social support. Additionally, the internal reliability of the Normalization Scale (Murphy, 1992) was determined. A non-probability purposive sample of thirty-three mothers of chronically ill school-aged children was recruited from a medical day unit of a regional pediatric tertiary health setting. Employing the Family Management Style Model (Knafl & Deatrick, 1990) as a conceptual framework, the study used a descriptive correlational design. Data were collected from mothers using the Normalization Scale (Murphy, 1994), the Personal Resource Questionnaire, (Weinert, 1987) and a demographic questionnaire. Mothers' reported use of normalization by their families was found to be associated with perceived social support and their satisfaction with help received from their social support network. The relationship between mothers' reported use of normalization and the size of the social support network was not significant. The study demonstrated that family and friends are the sources of support that mothers most frequently cite as helpful. This investigation also confirmed the importance of health care professionals in the family's process of normalizing their child's illness and their family life. Support groups were not perceived as helpful by these mothers. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Book In the Shadow of Illness

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 2000-06-19 with total page 336 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.

Book Depression in Parents Parenting and Children

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.
