“…Chronic illness may pose a threat to well‐being ( Woodgate, 1998). Disturbances of emotional well‐being, including fear, guilt, shame ( Eiser, 1990; Regan et al ., 1993 ; Bosley et al ., 1995 ), depression, and anxiety ( Chigier, 1992), are quite common in adolescents with chronic conditions compared to healthy peers ( Harn & Peterson, 1997). The present findings show that adolescents with epilepsy, JRA and IDDM who feel the disease to be a threat to their emotional well‐being showed poorer compliance than the adolescents who do not feel the disease to be a threat to their emotional well‐being.…”

The purpose of this paper is to describe the factors that affect compliance in adolescents with a chronic illness and to compare compliance and factors connected to compliance between adolescents with asthma, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The data were collected by questionnaire. Altogether 1200 individuals were selected from the Finnish Social Insurance Institution's register. The response percentage was 88 (n = 1061). One-fifth (23%) of adolescents with chronic disease felt that they had complied fully with health regimens, while 60% placed themselves in the category of satisfactory compliance and the remaining 17% reported poor compliance. In each patient group compliance was promoted by good motivation, a strong sense of normality, a positive attitude towards the disease and treatment, energy and will-power, experience of results, support from the parents, nurses and physicians, and a feeling that the disease was not a threat to social well-being.

“…Weight gain during the pubescent period can lead to low self-esteem and depression. 27 Long-term contact and supervision by parents, health care providers, educators, and others may be viewed as an annoyance by these young people or may leave them fearful of "doing something wrong." On the other hand, such contact may help them learn the necessity of careful guidance and follow-up that will be useful in adapting and coping with their disease.…”
