“…As shown here, comprehensive preventive and therapeutic health promotion interventions that are commonly used in clinical care can be tailored to individual patients and families and can be delivered in a systematic manner. The intervention models described here were tailored to the individual needs of each patient and participating caregiver and utilized tenets of health promotion and cognitive behavioral therapy [1,2,14,25,[41][42][43][44], problem-solving, and motivational interviewing strategies [11,26,30]. This tailored and personalized intervention approach recognized that multiple stressors and demands could pose inevitable barriers to treatment success, including the development and/or maintenance of less than optimal health behavior patterns like poor adherence, less adaptive coping, and continued medical trauma.…”

“…Tailored and personalized preventive and therapeutic interventions targeting specific risk and protective factors that may impact health behaviors and ultimately health outcomes for individual patients are very much needed to reduce the risk for adverse effects [9][10][11]. There is strong evidence that patients diagnosed with chronic illness often report increased psychological distress including higher levels of anxiety and depression, decreased physical activity, increased fatigue, and decreased quality of life [12][13][14]. Chronic diseases common in adolescents and young adults (AYA), such as asthma, are associated with biological markers (e.g., neuropeptide Y), which are associated with psychological stress [15,16].…”

Despite significant gains in survival rates for pediatric patients and adolescents/young adults (AYA) with chronic illness, patients in this vulnerable age group are also at an increased risk for developing one or more adverse effects related to their disease, treatment, or maladaptive health behaviors. Maladaptive health behaviors ultimately increase the risk for developing adverse effects, including: increased rates of morbidity and mortality, impaired physical functioning, increased fatigue, obesity, increased psychological distress, and poor quality of life. With close attention including participation in preventive and therapeutic health promotion interventions, problematic health behaviors can be mitigated and ultimately prevented over time. It is well known that improved psychological functioning and adaptive coping can result in improved health status. The present paper provides four case examples illustrating various psychological interventions in pediatric chronic illness. As evidenced in the four case examples, pediatric psychologists provide comprehensive interventions for patients with acute and chronic medical conditions through the use of health promotion interventions, adherence and self-management promotion, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, medical coping, parent training, and motivational interviewing. Our case series demonstrates that for the most impactful behavior change to occur, a combination of interventions is often the most effective.

Conceptual frameworks inform and advance clinical practice, research, and education. The “F-words for child development” is a child/youth/family friendly model that embeds the words fitness, functioning, family, friends, fun, and future into the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). This perspectives paper explores how the concepts and use of the F-words for child development are conducive to the practice of pediatric oncology rehabilitation and promotion of quality of life of children and their families. Pediatric oncology rehabilitation is explored in the context of the ICF and F-words through a review of relevant literature, clinical expertise, and child/youth/family perspectives. The F-words framework is congruent with recognized rehabilitation strategies, preferences, and best practices during and after treatment for cancer in children and youth. The concepts can be used to promote the engagement, health, well-being, and quality of life of children/youth and their families.
