“…These findings are consistent with the suggestion that children can participate in decision making without having actual decision making authority (Baylis, Downie, & Kenny, 1999;Joffe, 2003;McCabe, 1996;Weithorn, 1983) and with prior qualitative research suggesting that information giving and collaboration are characteristics of different patterns of family decision making about clinical trials (Snethen et al, 2006). Indeed, parent-child interactions around decision making may function as a way for children to become better decision makers themselves (Liprie, 1993;White, 1996;Wills, Blechman, & McNamara, 1996).…”

“…Second, future research should examine the influence of collaborative decision making on the child's transition to independent decision making. It has been hypothesized that collaborative decision making provides an opportunity for children to learn what family members take into account when making decisions and the consequences of different decisions, which may contribute to the development of the child's own decision-making skills (Liprie, 1993;White, 1996;Wills et al, 1996). In addition to decisions about medical research participation, collaborative decision making may be relevant to a range of decisions having to do with the child's health, including those related to the daily management of childhood chronic illness (e.g., type 1 diabetes, asthma, cystic fibrosis).…”

“…Here, "autonomy" may merely represent self-rather than other-regulation in a Foucauldian sense, a manifestation of the modernist shift from overt coercive regulation to regulation within the self "such that obedience takes on an apparently voluntary quality" (Burman, 1991, p. 141). Fasick (1984) proposed that the autonomy society claims to appreciate in its young people does not extend to value autonomy, which needs to be rare if social stability is to be maintained, and more recently there are hints of obedient underpinnings in Liprie's (1993) suggestion that Adult family members need to provide experiences that allow early adolescents to practice independent and group decision making so their perceptions [italics added] of control and personal efficacy are strengthened. (p. 251) Nevertheless, as other researchers have pointed out, it is necessary to keep in mind the distinction between findings of research that has attempted to actually measure the influence of parents, peers and others on adolescent decision-making (an extraordinarily hard thing to do), and those of studies, like the present one, which examine people's perceptions of such influence.…”

Adolescent Decision-making: A Comparison of Adult and Teenage Perspectives in New Zealand

A sizeable research literature exists which examines the perceived influence of parents and peers on adolescent decision-making. Many of the methodologies employed have arguably contributed to the tendency for parents and peers to be perceived either as adversarial or as influential in fairly separate and discrete domains. This New Zealand study attempted to circumvent some of these problems, and to facilitate direct comparison between adult and adolescent perspectives, by asking participants to give their views on the process of everyday decision-making by "a typical 15-year-old". Data from a sample of 495 teenagers and 536 adults indicated that a notion of "autonomous" decisionmaking was strongly endorsed by both groups: the teenager him/herself was rated most influential, followed by close friends, the wider peer group, and finally parents. Adults' and teenagers' ratings tended to be more disparate for the perceived influence of friends and peers than of parents. Decision-making about sexual activity was positioned quite separately from other so-called "risky" behaviors, and considered, especially by teenagers, as minimally influenced by others. The concept of autonomous decision-making as a marker of developmental maturity is discussed.

“…Other study measured children's decision making in chronic illnesses such as diabetes type 1, cystic fibrosis and asthma. Children's decision-making involvement (DMI) is one of the most important transitional levels to greater indepen-dence (Liprie, 1993). DMI can offer to children information, express of opinion, suggest ideas, share of information, choose threw options provided by parents, or conversations with parents.…”

Chronic diseases in patients have always been a significant sector of study by various scientists. Patient's empowerment in situations like these has an enormous importance in order to succeed a better knowledge of how to face these difficulties. The value of empowerment is enormous and has to be the goal of modern research. When it is found in the patient's behavior, we can definitely agree to the fact that he is able to make decisions on his own and to have the total control of his life, along with its problems for example when his health is in danger, or when he faces a sentimental problem. The consequences of stress in our life can be immense and they have a negative effect on the self-confidence of the individuals, as well. The Patient Empowerment Scale (PES) was measured to the patients with chronic diseases through a systematic review. The Patient Empowerment Scale (PES) has been evaluated with the use of Pubmed/Medline. Of the 118 studies included in this review, 44 articles presented inclusion criteria. 27 scales were obtained through open access and they were evaluated through the participation definition. Of the 27 studies included there were 14 studies that measured patient empowerment in chronic diseases, 4 studies showed data for calculation of an SMD for self-efficacy disease-specific outcomes, 2 studies included a measurement of self-esteem, measured with the Rosenberg Selfesteem (RSE) Scale, 4 studies that measured the decision making and there were 3 studies that included the quality of life measurement. The evolution of the patient's health, through self-management, can be improved on increasing his empowerment. It is very important for a clinical to provide his patient with all the necessary material and to give him the possibility of a productive conversation, in order to succeed an increased empowerment on his patient. Future studies will have to broaden their criteria to include different languages, longer time period and larger sample.
