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.

This book was released on 2023-02-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're like most parents, you likely want the best for your kids. You want them to have long, healthy lives with a robust immune system. Unfortunately, a lot of students miss out on that opportunity. In fact, more than 3000 children under the age of 18 receive cancer diagnoses each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are a lot of children in that number who are struggling. Thankfully, there is still hope. New methods of cancer prevention and treatment are always being researched. And the incidence of cancer in young people is gradually decreasing thanks to the efforts of cancer researchers worldwide. By educating your child about the illness and its signs and symptoms, you can aid them in their fight against cancer. Here are some pointers for educating kids about cancer: 1. Discuss cancer with your children. Inform them that cancer is an illness that can affect anyone, regardless of age. Let them know that having cancer is not a sign of weakness or a deficiency in character. 2. Inform your children about free cancer screening and detection services (SCDS). Free cancer screenings and health education are provided to children and their families as part of the SCDS initiative
