162. Social and Emotional Functioning of Children With NF-1 and Their Families; A Case Controlled Study

Author

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER CINCINNATI OH, Noll, Robert B., CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER CINCINNATI OH, and Noll, Robert B.

Abstract

The first objective of this work is to evaluate the social, emotional, and behavioral quality of life (QOL) of children with NF and explore potential linkages between NF and QOL in these 3 domains. The second objective of this work is to evaluate parental distress, family functioning, and child rearing practices. It is hypothesized that the social and emotional status of children with NF plays an important role in predicting eventual functioning and the quality of life they obtain. To determine which medical and psychological variables are involved, a cross sectional study of peer relationships, emotional well-being, and family functioning is required. Peer relations play a central role in children's social and emotional development and are fundamental for the development of adequate social skills and for the emergence of a healthy self-concept. Although a growing body of empirical evidence has shown peer perceptions of social competence are predictive both of current adjustment and of future adaptations during adolescence and through adulthood, no data are available on the peer relationships of children with NF. Additionally, while several psychometrically sound measures of emotional well being are available, these have not been reported for children with NF. Finally, we could locate no studies focusing on parent distress, family functioning, or child rearing concerns. A high incidence of learning disabilities, ADHD, and behavioral problems have been reported for children with NF. Clinically, parents often voice concerns that their children have few friends, are immature, and are teased because of their appearance or clumsiness.

180. Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of the Pediatric Parenting Stress Inventory (PPSI)

Author

Devine, Katie A., Katz, Ernest R., Fairclough, Diane L., Phipps, Sean, Sherman-Bien, Sandra, Dolgin, Michael J., Noll, Robert B., Askins, Martha A., Butler, Robert W., and Sahler, Olle Jane Z.

Abstract

Objective: This work evaluated the psychometric properties of the Pediatric Parenting Stress Inventory (PPSI), a new measure of problems and distress experienced by parents of children with chronic illnesses. Method: This secondary data analysis used baseline data from 1 sample of English-, Spanish-, and Hebrew-speaking mothers of children recently diagnosed with cancer (n = 449) and 1 sample of English- and Spanish-speaking mothers of children recently diagnosed with cancer (n = 399) who participated in 2 problem-solving skills training interventions. The PPSI was administered at baseline with other measures of maternal distress. Factor structure was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on the first sample and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on both samples. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. Construct validity was assessed via Spearman correlations with measures of maternal distress. Results: EFA resulted in a stable four-factor solution with 35 items. CFA indicated that the four-factor solution demonstrated reasonable fit in both samples. Internal consistency of the subscales and full scale was adequate to excellent. Construct validity was supported by moderate to strong correlations with measures of maternal distress, depression, and posttraumatic stress symptoms. Conclusions: The PPSI demonstrated good psychometric properties in assessing current problems and distress experienced by mothers of children newly diagnosed with cancer. This tool may be used to identify individualized targets for intervention in families of children with cancer. Future studies could evaluate the utility and psychometrics of the PPSI with other pediatric populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this cross-sectional study, we compared levels of adaptive functioning and examined potential correlates of adaptive functioning in 18 pediatric intestine ( ITX) and 22 liver ( LTX) recipients transplanted between June 2003 and March 2009. Family caregivers completed the ABAS- II scale and provided socio-demographic information regarding recipients' age at transplantation, gender, ethnicity, time since transplantation, and caregivers' role, ethnicity, education, and family income. Overall adaptive functioning and all three adaptive functioning subdomain scores were significantly lower in ITX patients compared with LTX patients (p ≤ 0.04) and compared with the general population normative mean (p ≤ 0.003). Significant correlates of adaptive functioning after abdominal transplant included type of transplant procedure ( r = −0.4, p = 0.02), gender ( r = 0.4, p = 0.01), and educational level of caregiver ( r = 0.5, p = 0.003) and together explained 45% of the variance in overall adaptive functioning. Findings provide new information regarding everyday functioning outcomes of ITX patients, add to existing data regarding non-medical outcomes for LTX patients, and highlight the need for ongoing monitoring and intervention following transplantation to enhance outcomes.
