Book Pediatric Parenting Stress Among Parents of Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Download or read book Pediatric Parenting Stress Among Parents of Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by Catherine R. Breuer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are chronic autoimmune disorders of the digestive track most commonly affecting the small and /or large intestine. Little research has been conducted on parental stress in parents of children with IBD; however, researchers suggest this is a pressing concern. In the current study, the Pediatric Inventory for Parents (PIP) was used to assess parenting stress while controlling for general life stress as measured by the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. Parent gender, child disease severity, and child age were anticipated to be key factors associated with increased stress. Regression analyses supported these hypotheses. Specifically, mothers, high disease severity, and young children, we re predictors of parental stress. PIP subscores were also compared to those of other childhood illnesses (diabetes, sickle cell anemia, and cancer) as published in existing research. T-tests were conducted and revealed overall higher stress scores than those of the comparative illnesses. These results provide likely risk factors physicians may recognize and then address early in the child's IBD diagnosis. Results also demonstrate the importance of increased IBD awareness along with publicized parental support options as the current study's stress scores were overall higher than the comparative groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its inherent joys, the challenges of parenting can produce considerable stress. These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. Mindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. Featured in the text: Detailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program. The complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up. Handouts and assignments for each session. Findings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program. Perspectives from parents who have finished the course. Its clinical focus and empirical support make Mindful Parenting an invaluable tool for practitioners and clinicians in child, school, and family psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry, social work, and developmental psychology.

Book Parenting Plan Evaluations

Download or read book Parenting Plan Evaluations written by Kathryn Kuehnle and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When conducting parenting plan evaluations, mental health professionals need to be aware of a myriad of different factors. More so than in any other form of forensic evaluation, they must have an understanding of the most current findings in developmental research, behavioral psychology, attachment theory, and legal issues to substantiate their opinions. With a number of publications on child custody available, there is an essential need for a text focused on translating the research associated with the most important topics within the family court. This book addresses this gap in the literature by presenting an organized and in-depth analysis of the current research and offering specific recommendations for applying these findings to the evaluation process. Written by experts in the child custody arena, chapters cover issues associated with the most important and complex issues that arise in family court, such as attachment and overnight timesharing with very young children, dynamics between divorced parents and children's potential for resiliency, co-parenting children with chronic medical conditions and developmental disorders, domestic violence during separation and divorce, gay and lesbian co-parents, and relocation, among others. The scientific information provided in these chapters assists forensic mental health professionals to proffer empirically-based opinions, conclusions and recommendations. Parenting Plan Evaluations is a must-read for legal practitioners, family law judges and attorneys, and other professionals seeking to understand more about the science behind child custody evaluations.

Book Factors Associated with Health related Quality of Life in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Download or read book Factors Associated with Health related Quality of Life in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by Ellen M. Manegold and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL; e.g., Cunningham et al., 2007; De Boer et al., 2005; Greenley et al., 2010). Previous research has demonstrated that factors such as problematic family functioning and increased general anxiety are associated with decreased HRQOL in pediatric IBD (e.g., Guilfoyle et al., 2014; Gumidyala & Greenley, 2014; Herzer et al., 2011a; Kilroy, Nolan, & Sarma, 2011). However, little was known about how specific aspects of the parent-child relationship are related to HRQOL. Furthermore, there was a gap in the literature about the relation of gastrointestinal (GI)-specific anxiety to HRQOL. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to identify more specific factors of the parent-child relationship and GI-specific anxiety that are associated with HRQOL in pediatric IBD. Thirty youth with IBD (Mage = 13.90 years, Range = 10 -- 18; 60% Male) and their primary caregivers or parents were recruited from a pediatric gastroenterology clinic in West Virginia. Parents and youth each completed a series of study questionnaires. Results indicated a significant association between GI-specific anxiety and both youth- and parent-reported total HRQOL scores. There were some significant associations among parent-child relationship dimensions and youth- and parent-report of HRQOL. However, most all of these were counterintuitive and may have been a function of study limitations. Exploratory analyses with specific parent-child relationship dimensions as mediators or moderators of GI-specific anxiety and youth-reported HRQOL were non-significant. The small sample and number of analyses performed each contributed to a likely increase in Type I error. Further, the sample was underpowered to detect medium-to-large effect sizes. However, data suggests that GI-specific anxiety is an important consideration in HRQOL in this population. Future directions include expanding data collection for this study to increase statistical power through a larger sample and potentially greater generalizability of data, as well as investigate targeted interventions to improve GI-specific anxiety in this population.

Book The Application of the Third Generation of Cognitive Behavioral Approaches to Parenting

Download or read book The Application of the Third Generation of Cognitive Behavioral Approaches to Parenting written by Helena Moreira and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been growing interest in understanding how the third generation of cognitive-behavioral approaches, particularly mindfulness-, compassion-, and acceptance-based approaches, can contribute to the design of more efficacious parenting interventions and to a better understanding of parenting behaviors and the parent-child relationship. However, the application of third-generation cognitive-behavioral therapies and concepts to parenting is still in its infancy, and further research is needed to explore the potential of these approaches to enhance existing parenting interventions or to inform the development of new parenting interventions targeting different groups of parents and their children. More research is also needed to understand how mindfulness, (self-)compassion, acceptance and other related psychological processes may influence parenting practices, the parent-child relationship, and the child’s socioemotional development. With this e-book, presenting state-of-the-art research articles on third generation cognitive-behavioral approaches, a new step is taken in 1) exploring relations between parenting-related issues and concepts from the third generation cognitive-behavioral framework, and 2) examining parenting-interventions informed by third-generation cognitive-behavioral therapies.

Download or read book Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by Russell D. Cohen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As in the first edition of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases this new edition continues to provide readers with a concise, yet in-depth review of many of the important areas in the history, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of the inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), as well as associated issues: extraintestinal manifestations, ostomy care, women's issues, economics, etc. This Second Edition provides the reders with up-to-date, state-of-the art approaches to these disease states, with expansion into the newer topics that have emerged in the past few years which include the expansion of biological agents for treatment, new studies in the epidemiology of IBD, the changing economics of IBD, breakthroughs in new endoscopic evaluations, major advances in novel radiographic techniques, the detection of colorectal cancer in patients with IBD and new findings in the genetics of IBD. New Trend / Developments (* These all emerged since our last edition) The most critical trend that has arisen over the past few years has been the introduction and expansion of biological agents in the treatment of inflammatory diseases worldwide. While only one agent, infliximab (Remicade), existed at the time of publication of my first edition, there have been multiple other agents either approved or pending approval for the treatments of these diseases, or in the upper-stages of development. The impact is not only upon the patients, but also on the health-care providers, policy makers, researchers, biotech and pharmacompanies, and the business community. Major changes worldwide in the epidemiology of IBD has spurred new studies in the demographics of who is getting these diseases and why. Previously characterized as diseases primarily affected Caucasians in industrialized countries, there has been an explosion of growth amongst the African American and Hispanic populations in the United States, and well as in pockets of these and other ethnic groups worldwide. The economics of IBD has been changing greatly, given the issues raised above, as well as major changes in the United States Medicare program, and other insurance changes. The growing proportion of the GNP that healthcare costs are consuming in the US and worldwide has shifted attention to decreasing utilization of health care services, and other cost-savings measures. Again, up to this point this has been an exclusive part of our IBD book. New findings in the genetics of IBD have been recently published. Our first edition had the finding of the first Crohn’s disease gene inserted just before going to press; so much has been published about the phenotypes and other genotypes that have emerged. Breakthroughs in new endoscopic evaluations of the bowel (ie. Capsule endoscopy, double-balloon enteroscopy, endoscopic ultrasound) and their use in the inflammatory bowel diseases will be a key highlight of this new book. Major advances in novel radiographic techniques employed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (ie. CT enterography, MR enterography, advanced ultrasounds, etc.) will also an important component of our work. There have been numerous areas related to the development and detection of colorectal cancer in patients with IBD that have emerged in the past few years. Techniques of better detection (ie. Narrow band imaging; special mucosal staining; endoscopic histological evaluations) as well as research in the putative role of mesalamine and other agents for colorectal cancer prevention are all hot topics that will attract much interest from a variety of interest groups I described above. Identification of additional disease states that probably belong in the IBD family, such as microscopic colitis (including lymphocytic colitis), and collagenous colitis add to the diseases that will be discussed in this new edition.
