Abstract:

Chronic illness is a condition with increasing prevalence that requires medical care and affects children physically, psychosocially, and academically. Globally, one in four children is affected by chronic illnesses, accounting for approximately 10-30% of the total child population. In recent years, there has been an observed increase in the number of children monitored for chronic illnesses in Turkey. It is reported that 10-20% (approximately 700,000) of children under the age of 18 are followed up for chronic illnesses. Aim: This compilation is designed to examine how chronic illnesses in childhood affect children and their parents, coping mechanisms in this situation, and the roles of public health nurses in light of the literature. Method: The literature review of the study was conducted between November 15 and December 5, 2023. During the search, queries were performed using the keywords 'Chronic illness' AND 'Parent' AND 'Public health nursing' OR 'Chronic illness' AND 'Parent' AND 'Coping methods' along with their English translations on search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Ebscohost, Scopus, and CINAHL. Results: Chronic illnesses during childhood are categorized based on age groups: infancy (0-1 year), toddlerhood (1-3 years), preschool period (3-6 years), school-age period (6-12 years), and adolescence (12-18 years). Subsequently, the impact of chronic illness on parents and the role of nurses, the effect of chronic illness on siblings, coping mechanisms for children with chronic illnesses, and nursing care based on age groups are discussed. Conclusion: Coping with chronic illnesses can be a challenging process for both children and their families. Therefore, the support provided by healthcare professionals, especially public health nurses, to these families is of critical importance.

Abstract:

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of chronic illness on psychological resilience in adults in Indonesia. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Recent research on the effect of chronic illness on psychological resilience in adults in Indonesia indicates that chronic illnesses significantly impact psychological well-being and resilience. Studies reveal that individuals with chronic conditions often experience decreased resilience due to increased stress and reduced coping abilities. However, factors such as strong social support, effective coping strategies, and access to mental health resources can mitigate these negative effects. For instance, patients with robust social networks and adaptive coping mechanisms show higher levels of psychological resilience despite their chronic conditions. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Stress and coping theory, conservation of resources (COR) theory & self-determination theory (SDT) may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of chronic illness on psychological resilience in adults in Indonesia. Healthcare providers should implement resilience training programs that equip individuals with chronic illnesses with practical skills to enhance their psychological resilience. Policymakers should integrate psychological resilience into chronic illness management policies by mandating the inclusion of mental health support as a core component of chronic disease care.

Abstract:

This study aims to explore the impact of early attachment styles on the adjustment to chronic illness using a qualitative approach. A qualitative research design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 27 participants diagnosed with various chronic illnesses. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure a diverse representation. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software, following thematic analysis to identify key patterns and themes. The study identified four main themes: Early Attachment Experiences, Coping Mechanisms and Strategies, Emotional and Psychological Impact, and Adaptation to Chronic Illness. Participants with secure attachment styles reported better coping mechanisms and emotional regulation. For instance, 70% (19 participants) exhibited adaptive coping strategies and utilized social support networks effectively. In contrast, 30% (8 participants) with insecure attachment styles demonstrated higher levels of stress, anxiety, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Additionally, 59% (16 participants) highlighted the significant role of social support in their adjustment process. Early attachment experiences significantly influence the adjustment to chronic illness. Secure attachment styles are associated with better psychological adjustment, including effective coping mechanisms and emotional regulation. In contrast, insecure attachment styles correlate with higher psychological distress and maladaptive coping. These findings underscore the importance of considering attachment styles in chronic illness management and suggest that interventions promoting secure attachment could enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract:

Background: Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) are among the most pervasive and serious chronic illnesses. Parents of children with a chronic condition must cope with greater demands and adopt different behaviors in order to lessen the impact on the family structure.Aims and Objectives: This study aims to explore the coping mechanism used by parents of children with CHD.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 100 parents of children with CHD selected through non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by interview and analyzed using descriptive statistics.Result: This study revealed that parents of preschool children used more coping mechanism (mean score 30.53 out of total score 57), followed by parents of adolescence (mean score 30). Parents of first-born children with CHD used less coping mechanism (mean score 28.08). Parents of female children used more coping mechanism (mean score 29.52), fathers of children with CHD used more coping mechanism (mean score 29.78), and parents of operated children used more coping mechanism (mean score 29.11).Conclusion: Parental coping mechanism was found to be affected by age, sex, operative status and birth order of children and also by the sex of parent. These findings strongly indicate the need for proper counseling service to parents so that healthy coping is reinforced.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(4) 2016 75-79

Abstract:

Chronic illness and sickness includes more than just the physical treatment of a disease process. Health care relational models emphasize that adequate care for an illness involves ensuring that a patient’s emotional health and well-being is addressed along with one’s physical well-being. During a health care assessment, a doctorally prepared advanced practice nurse (APN) should take into consideration the patient’s physiological, social, neurological, and spiritual health. Today’s health care arena does not allow or reimburse for lengthy assessments or extensive health histories, practices, and support systems. The time allotted instead is spent listening to each patient’s current issues, making an assessment and diagnosis, and formulating a treatment plan and educating the patient accordingly. Because of the drive for efficiency, mainly because of reimbursement reductions, providers may doubt the necessity to discuss spirituality in the management of chronic illness. Patients that lack a social support system especially may benefit from a doctorally prepared APN’s nurturing of their spirituality for emotional comfort. Spirituality influences the ability of the patient to cope with chronic pain, either negatively or positively, and is acknowledged by doctorally prepared APNs as an important coping mechanism. For these reasons, doctorally prepared APNs should be aware of community resources to support patients with their spiritual growth and well-being.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to explore the role of spirituality in coping with chronic illness, focusing on how spiritual practices, support systems, and personal beliefs influence the daily lives and overall well-being of individuals living with chronic conditions. This qualitative research employed semi-structured interviews with 23 participants diagnosed with various chronic illnesses for at least one year. Data were collected until theoretical saturation was reached and analyzed using NVivo software. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and subthemes from the interview transcripts, providing a comprehensive understanding of the participants' experiences. The study identified four main themes: Spiritual Practices, Support Systems, Personal Spiritual Beliefs, and Impact on Daily Life. Spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and reading sacred texts were reported by all participants as significant coping mechanisms. Support systems, including family support, religious communities, and spiritual mentors, were crucial for 20 participants. Personal beliefs, such as faith in a higher power and finding meaning in illness, were significant for 18 participants. The impact on daily life included improved coping mechanisms, emotional well-being, and life satisfaction, as reported by 19 participants. Spirituality plays a vital role in coping with chronic illness, providing emotional support, enhancing resilience, and improving overall well-being. The findings underscore the importance of integrating spiritual care into healthcare practices to better support patients' holistic needs. Future research should explore the long-term effects of spiritual practices on health outcomes and evaluate the efficacy of spiritual care interventions in clinical settings.

Abstract:

Chemotherapy could cause pain in the patient, thus causing the condition of the body would gradually weaken. This condition would make the patient delay the therapy due to physical symptoms and emotional pressure (psychological), which affected the seriousness of patients in the treatment and strong coping mechanism required to maintain good conditions One of the empirical evidence of conceptual model theory "Holistic Adaptif System", Callista Roy put it, this model was used in chronic illnesses undergoing treatment, because theoretically successful handling by conducting adaptive coping mechanism behavior was an important variable in the physiological and psychological adaptation process to the stimulus that occurs. This study aimed to identify the behavior of patients using Callista Roy adaptology. This study aimed to analyze factors that influenced coping mechanisms in chemotherapy patients with the Callista Roy adaptation theory approach. This research design is analytical with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were 95 patients. This research sampling technique was Consecutive Sampling. The sample size in this study was 78 respondents who met the criteria of the researcher. The research instrument used CAPS with an adaptation theory approach. The results showed that educational factors (p = 0.031) and job (p = 0.023) influenced the coping mechanism with the theory approach of Callista Roy adaptation to chemotherapy patients. The higher the level of education, the tolerance and control of stressors is better so that coping mechanisms become adaptive. Those who worked were more stress because they had to combine their work with scheduled care.

Abstract:

Religion and spiritual beliefs have been frequently associated with greater psychological well-being among illness populations, little is known about the specific benefits individuals’ receive from pooja and meditations. Our culture says it is necessary to remember God Constantly while doing our daily duties and tasks. We can make God as our companion; we can talk to Him, Consult Him, demand His help and guidance. People even force and blame Him for the difficulties they face in their day-to-day life. Along with this sometimes general notion of the human being is that, when difficulties come, it is the God who is not pleased with their act and even think that a curse from him, especially when the person is suffering from chronic illnesses. Religion can also be a product of coping when a person is in stress and can increase their religious faith. As part of an individual's general orienting system, religion influences how individuals appraise situations, participate in activities, and develop goals for themselves in particular when faced with difficult situations. The main aim of this paper is to know the influence of religion and spirituality on HIV positive people and the objectives are to understand the religious patterns and practices they follow especially at the time of crisis Secondly to identify the use of religion and spirituality as a coping mechanism during a chronic incurable illness like HIV/AIDS. The Research Design will be Exploratory in nature.

Abstract:

A recent review suggested that self-compassion promotes use of adaptive rather than maladaptive coping. Less is known about how self-compassion is linked to stress and coping in the context of a chronic stressor. Across two primarily female chronic illness samples, inflammatory bowel disease (N = 155) and arthritis (N = 164), a model linking self-compassion to lower stress through coping styles and coping efficacy was tested. Path analyses revealed significant indirect effects for adaptive coping styles (active, positive reframing, and acceptance), and negatively for maladaptive coping styles (behavioral disengagement and self-blame) in both samples. Findings suggest that the relative balance of adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies used by self-compassionate people is associated with better coping outcomes in the context of chronic illness.

Abstract:

Five African American fathers participated in a qualitative study that examined how fathers experience their children who live with chronic illnesses. The examination of their strengths and resiliencies revealed 10 factors that enhanced involvement and were incorporated into fathers' overall approaches to parenting: clear paternal definition; strong parenting alliance; gains experienced through father/child relationship; strong spiritual foundation; responsive social support systems; strategies for managing employment and illness demands; confidence in ability to navigate health care structure; attitude of self-sacrifice and flexibility; strategies for managing perceived disparities; and maintenance of future focus. In addition, fathers defined coping and advised professionals involved with families who have children diagnosed with chronic illness. In doing so, they revealed challenges to participation, potential constraints to involvement, and suggestions for productive encounters with systems of care and collaborative exchanges on behalf of children engaged in treatment.

Abstract:

碩士 中國醫藥大學 生態暨演化生物學研究所碩士班 99 In order to understand the metal accumulation and detoxification in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) under various chronic copper (Cu) exposures, we investigated the subcellular distributions of Cu. The tilapia were exposed to 0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6 ?慊 ml-1 Cu for 28 days followed by a depuration biosaays of 7 days in water. The relative Cu distribution between the metabolically active pool (MAP) and the metabolically detoxified pool (MDP) were analyzed. The biokinetic parameters, including uptake rate (ku), elimination rate (ke), detoxification rate (kd), and bioconcentration factor (BCF) were obtained. The results revealed that as the concentration of Cu increasing in water, the Cu was transferred from MAP to MDP and the ku of liver was decreased to reduce the toxicify arise from Cu accumulation. Copper was stored mainly at metal-rich granules (MRG) in the gill and muscle. The Cu residue was reduced by increasing ke of gill and muscle, and decreasing ku of gill. The relationship between growth inhibition and Cu residues in organ-specific subcellular fractions were significantly related to cell debris, organelle, heat denature protein (HDP), trophically available fraction (TAF), MAP and MDP in the liver. We found that MAP in the liver can be an indicator for predicting growth toxicity in medium to high exposure concentrations (p<0.05). In conclusion, the subcellular regulation of metal toxicity in tilapia play a key role in mediating the chronic Cu toxicity and provide a basic understanding for field ecological exposure risk assessment.

Abstract:

This qualitative study focuses on the experiences of adults with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a neuromuscular condition, and explores what living with this disease encompasses. The study is structured around two fundamental research questions that amount to people's experiences regarding how (in which areas) the disease affects them, and how they continuously deal with it. In order to address the research questions, data gathered from participants was qualitatively analysed, using grounded theory methodology. The study culminated in the formulation of a substantive grounded theory as to how affected people manage the disease's manifestations in order to optimise their continuous adaptation and well-being. A tripartite of concerns comprised the core concern, whereas the basic social psychological process of engaging with CMT emerged as the core strategy used by affected people to deal with the concerns. The core's three sub processes constituted three mostly sequential stages that CMT-affected people pass through in their adaptation to the disease. The identified theory and existing stage models of adaptation to chronic illnesses and disabilities were juxtaposed and discussed. The three stages were compared to and integrated with the relevant literature. These actions revealed that there are a number of new formulations and processes contained in all three stages, and that the first and last stages (orientating and optimising) are themselves unique. It emerged that there is no theoretical end-point to the adaptation process, but that a relative saturation point amounted to a variant of an outcome, called qualified wellness. For most, the core strategy was successful in resolving the main concern. A few, however, still experienced fear and agony about inheritance and dependency issues. This study contributes, via the route of knowledge and insight empowerment, to the well-being of people with CMT, including those who are struggling but do not know that they have this disease. Broadening of insight may also benefit medical help professionals and streamline service delivery. Psychology D. Litt. et Phil. (Psychology)

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of the development and current status of the reality-negotiation construct, relates the construct to coping processes, and suggests that it has important implications for conceptualizations of social support and the mechanisms through which social support is related to coping. Following brief definitional, historical, and measurement sections, it provides a compendium of reality-negotiation strategies and relates the reality-negotiation construct more specifically to the issue of coping with adversity. A discussion of selected issues related to coping with chronic illness and disability will serve as the vehicle for linking the reality-negotiation construct to some evolving notions about the underlying nature of social support.

Abstract:

This chapter introduces the research on hope and physical health. The various conceptualizations and measures of hope in the medical literature are addressed, although the research covered focuses on Snyder’s hope theory. The research on hope and health behaviors is presented, followed by a critical discussion of research on hope and specific areas of health outcomes, including pain, cancer, spinal cord injury, rehabilitation/injury, and chronic illness. Some of the mechanisms through which hope influences health are discussed, and the concepts of related health behaviors and health outcomes are explored. These health effects include coping and buffering against stress and depression. This chapter concludes with questions for future research.

Abstract:

Adolescents with chronic illness, particularly when accompanied by debilitating, painful, and/or fatiguing symptoms, face challenges that are disruptive to their normal physical, psychological, and social development. The Children’s Health and Illness Recovery Program (CHIRP) is an evidence-based program specifically designed to address the skills needed by adolescents with chronic illnesses to become more confident and independent in coping and managing their illness and lifestyle. The flexible 12-session format of CHIRP can be administered with individual teens and their families or conducted in teen groups with a parallel parent group component. CHIRP integrates and adapts effective treatment components from behavioral family systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, coping strategies intervention, interpersonal psychotherapy, assertiveness training, among others, into therapeutic activities in the companion CHIRP Teen and Family Workbook. This CHIRP Clinician Guide provides detailed instructions for implementing the manualized treatment protocol in the workbook. CHIRP was developed from both a careful review of the evidence-based literature on treatments for adolescents with chronic physical illness and the authors’ more than six decades of combined experience in helping children and families improve their quality of life and independence while coping with a chronic illness. Clinical outcome data on teens who have completed CHIRP demonstrate significant improvement in independent functioning and reduction in symptoms of fatigue and chronic pain; longitudinal data suggest these improvements not only persist but that teens continue to make gains on these factors beyond the completion of treatment, allowing them to pursue meaningful life goals as they transition to young adulthood.

Abstract:

Aging mirrors all the changes that occur over the period of life. It comes with various changes both positive and negative. Among all medical illnesses, Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most common and serious medical condition that has affected not only the aging population but also the young children and adults as well. Diabetes and its complications can contribute to aging process in a number of ways and the complications can speed up the aging process as well. For people with type 2 diabetes managing their emotional health can be as important as keeping their blood sugar under control. Patients with diabetes mellitus need psychological support throughout their life span from the time of diagnosis. However, provision of psychosocial support is generally inadequate due to its challenging nature of needs and demands on the healthcare systems. The present chapter will cover different aspects of diabetes mellitus and its impact on human life and also how with healthy coping mechanism one can prevent the distressing effect of diabetes on aging and vice versa.

Abstract:

Chapter 11 provides supplemental material for teens whose chronic illness challenges involve major problems with chronic pain. While pain is a necessary protective mechanism of the body, chronic pain involves complex interactions between the nervous system, the brain, our emotions, and various situational factors that can actually make our experience of pain worse. The activities in this session are intended to help teens better understand these interactions and apply pain management strategies. Many of the coping strategies in the Children’s Health and Illness Recovery Program (CHIRP) have been shown to be effective in helping teens manage chronic pain more effectively so that they are able to more actively participate in the multiple areas so important to development.

Abstract:

In this article we aimed to determine the impact of the positive attitude of healthcare practitioners on the psychological resilience of chronically ill adults. Patients who receive treatment from chronic illnesses are heavily influenced by the opinions and the attitude of medical staff, partially because of being dependent on their care and opinions while in a highly vulnerable state, partially because they spend a significant amount of time in hospitals around healthcare practitioners. We ascertained that the authority of medical staff and its weight in influencing positively the resilience and coping mechanisms of chronic patients represents a key factor in either building the initial psychological resilience to chronic disease or in maintaining resilience in patients with a long history of chronic illness. Further investigation is warranted into the models establishing and maintaining psychological resilience in connection to the medical staff assisting chronic patients.

Abstract:

There is a scarcity of literature regarding caretaker burnout in response to Covid-19, however one cross section survey study in Italy explored the perceived burden of caretakers of patients with Alzheimer’s disease during the pandemic.1 Maria G. Maggio et al showed that an increase in caregiver burden allowed for a deterioration in personal health conditions causing an increase in perceived stress levels. 1 Along with impaired management of stress and low quality of life, many caretakers were found to utilize avoidance strategies.1 However, the authors pointed out that the dysfunctional coping strategies did not affect stress levels and this study attempted to re-investigate that conclusion. In the current study, we aim to reproduce the results in NJ and to a broader population outside of caretakers with just Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, the patient population in this study was broadened to include caretakers to children with developmental disabilities or any other chronic illnesses as inspired by Elizabeth Young et al.’s study on caregiver burnout in response to taking care of youth with autism and intellectual disabilities throughout Covid-19. Examples of heightened burden included reasons such as disrupted developmental trajectories and lack of external support as caretakers worked from home.3 Therefore, it is imperative that in our study we consider physical and socioeconomic determinants of burnout in addition to the mental toll. Caregiver burnout is seldom studied and current psychological studies regarding it describe it as a tridimensional syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. In a study such as ours, it is important to operationalize psychometric elements. Subject burden can be described as the psychological, emotional, socioeconomic consequences of caregiving. Here, it is important to distinguish burden from burnout. While burden is a subjective appraisal of the experience of helping, burnout is an outcome because of perceived stress which can influence various coping mechanisms.4 This relationship was further explored in this study.

Abstract:

Non-adherence to health regulations during the Covid-19 pandemic has been associated with health beliefs. Thus the present study studies the impact of these health beliefs on preventative health behaviours and coping behaviours. The research followed an ex-post facto survey design and convenience sampling was used to recruit a sample of 100 Sri Lankans with chronic illnesses. Data collection was carried out online using Google forms. The multiple regression analyses reveals that the Health Belief Model was a significantly useful predictor explaining 53% of the variation in preventative health behaviours. The findings reveal no significant predictive relationships between the health beliefs of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits with preventative health behaviours. Perceived barriers are found to significantly and negatively predict preventative health behaviours. Perceived selfefficacy and cues to action are found to significantly and positively predict preventative health behaviours. Educational level and marital status moderate the relationship between self-efficacy, cues to action and preventative health behaviours. In fact, selfefficacy is positively and significantly correlated with adaptive coping but not significantly correlated with maladaptive coping behaviour. Overall, the findings highlight the utility of reducing barriers, enhancing self-efficacy, and promoting health literacy through education and provision of social support, especially spousal support, to foster adherence to preventative health behaviours.

Abstract:

Recently, mental health issue and chronic physical condition are substantially linked and this comorbidity is likely to increase.Patient focusing in the self-care activities is an important component in the mechanism of coping with chronic disease with a significant impact on clinical and psychological outcomes. In this context, the current study is conducted to assess the impact of self-care and social integration mechanisms on anxiety levels among patients with chronic non-communicable diseases.This observational study of cross-sectional design was performed in the pathology service of Fier city hospital, in Albania during August-September 2020. To assess the level of anxiety, we used the scale of 7 items of General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) with a score of ≥10 indicating GAD. Subscales of the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ) were used in order to evaluate social integration and self-care mechanism. The data were entered into the statistical program SPSS, version 23. The regression analysis is performedto examine the relationship between variables. The findings revealed that 56% of participants had GAD, 47% of participants were unable to self-monitor the disease, while 89% of them didnot performe any type of physical activity. The scale of anxiety was significantly associated with variables of Self–monitoring (p=0.000<0.05; OR=0.10) and Social integration (p=0.000<0.05; OR=21.4). These findings address the need to support peoplewho struggle with chronic non-communicable diseases developing adaptive ways to deal with their chronic condition and improve their lifestyle for better overall health.
