“…Other children produced fantasy material which suggested that they saw themselves as younger than they were, dependent and inadequate. Tropauer et al (1970) also studied 20 children with cystic fibrosis and their mothers. The children were asked about their experiences in relation to the illness.…”

To be or to parent a chronically-ill child is a difficult experience. Parents can initiate 'normalizing' tactics that alleviate the child's feeling of being different and enable a sense of control with the possibility to influence the quality of life of the child and the family. Following up among 20 parents of chronically-ill children, the author was able to identify a number of principles which underlined the 'normalizing' tactics. These principles, it is suggested, should be helpful to nurses and other health workers when guiding and advising parents and others who come into daily contact with chronically-ill children.

“…Many studies have shown that chronic illnesses predispose children to psychiatric disorders (Lawler, Nakielny & Wright, 1966;Tropauer, Franz & Dilgard, 1970;McCuUum & Gibson, 1970;Knowles, 1971;Pless & Pinkerton, 1975;Steinhausen, 1976;Steinhausen & Schindler, 1981;Breslau, 1985;Wallander, Varni, Babani, , ^ ..…”

Psychiatric disorders and behaviour problems were found to be commoner in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in matched comparison groups with tension headache and diabetes as well as in healthy children. Depression, anxiety and low self-esteem were common. Many children denied their problems. This may be due to the type of illness, its social consequences and the embarrassment experienced by the children. Discrepancies were found between the children's and their mothers' replies. These results are discussed in terms of their implication for paediatric practice.

“…Other studies have also reported common occurrences of maladjustment while failing to report a specific overall rate of disturbance. For example, Tropauer et al (1970) interviewed mothers of children with cystic fibrosis and found several cases of what was termed 'sibling resentment' ofthe ill child. The authors also noted school adjustment problems, learning difficulties and frequent reports of delinquency among the siblings; however, as in all studies without adequate controls, it is difficult to determine the degree to which this group of siblings differed from a norm for healthy families.…”

Chronic Illness: Psychosocial Effects on Siblings—i. Chronically Ill Boys

Focusing on the adjustment of the siblings of three groups of male children: with pervasive developmental disability, diabetes and no known chronic illness, the present study failed to support the view that siblings of ill children are uniformly at greater risk for psychosocial impairment. However, several domains were identified in which siblings as well as parents of sick children were more susceptible to adjustment problems, though 'risk' seemed to relate more closely to illness-specific variables than the presence or absence of illness. Several sex differences were found suggesting that same-sexed siblings may be more vulnerable to maladjustment than opposite-sexed pairs. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for investigation and intervention for families with an ill member.
