METHODS: Based on principles from cognitive behavior therapy and information from previous research about children's experiences with coping with a chronic disease we developed an intervention to be used for children with different chronic diseases. The program, called Op Koers (OK), with six sessions for different age groups, was evaluated by standardised and researcher-developed psychological measures. RESULTS: A total of 109 patients participated in the study on the effects of the psycho-educational intervention. Improvements in behavioral-emotional outcomes, social competence, information seeking, relaxation and positive thinking were found both in short and medium term. Additionally, the sessions received positive appraisals. CONCLUSIONS: The program appears to have a significant and positive impact on chronically children. Further research is needed to establish the effects of the intervention. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Beneficial effects can be expected from the implementation of a psycho-educational group intervention for children with heterogeneous chronic health conditions. 2007 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.pec.2006.06.017" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/j.pec.2006.06.017</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.

Title A name given to the resource Young adult patients with a history of pediatric disease: impact on course of life and transition into adulthood Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Journal Of Adolescent Health : Official Publication Of The Society For Adolescent Medicine Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Subject The topic of the resource Humans; Adult; Peer Group; Netherlands; Health Status; Life Change Events; Survivors; quality of life; adolescent; Adolescent Transitions; Risk-Taking; Chronic disease; Chronic/complications/psychology/rehabilitation; Esophageal Atresia/complications/psychology/rehabilitation; Hirschsprung Disease/complications/psychology/rehabilitation; Kidney Failure; Neoplasms/complications/psychology/rehabilitation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stam H; Hartman EE; Deurloo JA; Groothoff J; Grootenhuis MA Description An account of the resource PURPOSE: To assess the course of life of young adults who grew up with a chronic or life-threatening disease, and to compare their course of life with that of peers from the general population. Optimal transition from pediatric to adult health care requires knowledge of the psychosocial history of patients grown up with a pediatric disease. METHODS: A total of 508 young adults from the general Dutch population and 650 patients, aged 18-30 years, participated: 348 survivors of childhood cancer, 93 patients with anorectal malformations, 72 patients with Hirschsprung's disease, 61 patients with oesophageal atresia, 76 patients with end-stage renal disease. They completed the Course of Life Questionnaire, which retrospectively assesses the achievement of developmental milestones (autonomy, psychosexual and social development), and risk behavior (antisocial behavior, substance use and gambling). RESULTS: The young adults grown up with a chronic or life-threatening disease proved to have achieved significantly fewer milestones, or at older age than their peers, in all course-of-life domains. The course of life of young adults grown up with esophageal atresia was not delayed compared with that of their peers, whereas that of survivors of childhood cancer and patients with end-stage renal disease was delayed most. CONCLUSIONS: Health care providers should help to minimize the harm for children who grow up with a chronic or life-threatening disease by encouraging parents to stimulate social contacts and autonomy. Attention should especially be directed at children and adolescents growing up with childhood cancer or with end-stage renal disease. 2006 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jadohealth.2005.03.011" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/j.jadohealth.2005.03.011</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
