Advances in medical care and treatment options have extended the life expectancy of millions of youths with chronic conditions. These changes in prognosis have led many teens to not only survive but also thrive in adulthood. However, less is known about how parents and youth prepare for adulthood, or about the beliefs they have around becoming an adult with a chronic condition. What are parents thinking about as they teach their children to manage their condition? Findings from a mixed-method study are used to explore the unique beliefs and behaviors of parents raising a child with a chronic condition in greater depth. Understanding the beliefs, worries, and behaviors of parents has major implications for those providing care to them. This book provides healthcare professionals with a more nuanced way to think about what families are doing in order to provide more effective resources and support to those families.
Jessica Oviatt holds a PhD in education, an MA in human development and family studies, an MEd in health education and promotion, and a BA in biology. She is currently teaching at the University of California Irvine. Her interests center around understanding more about how chronic illness influences the lives of youth and their families through research on parenting, adolescence, and chronic illness. She is also a certified child life specialist and uses this training to study areas of research that will hopefully result in better health outcomes and medical experiences for youth and families.
