Abstract:
A growing body of empirical evidence suggests that attending specialized summer camps is beneficial for chronically ill youth (Briery & Rabian, 1999). However, there is some inconsistency across studies regarding these benefits (Hazzard & Angert, 1986). One potential explanation for these differences across camps is that they may differ in how well they recruit and train effective volunteer camp counselors. This possibility cannot be explored until more research is conducted identifying what type of person volunteers to work with chronically ill children and how they differ from others. In res

Abstract:
Parents of children with a chronic disease are usually highly involved in their child’s treatment and may be affected by the heavy demands and constant stress. This can increase the risk of developing burnout, which is an individual reaction to long-term stress consisting of symptoms associated with emotional exhaustion, as well as physical and cognitive fatigue. The overall aim was to estimate the prevalence of burnout in parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (paper I), identify the risk factors associated with parenting a child with T1D

This study explores the severity of depression in older persons who are chronically ill. The study was an attempt to determine if there is a significant relationship between four independent variables—family support, social support, marital status, and gender. The study was conducted while respondents were hospitalized at Clayton General Hospital. The research concluded that most older chronically ill persons were not depressed or were only mildly depressed. Significant factors were gender.

Social connectedness, feelings of belonging and closeness with the social world, has been identified as an important aspect for the physical, emotional, and collective well-being.

The present study investigated social connectedness and quality of life in 151 patients with ongoing symptoms of chronic illness.
