Social functioning in children with a chronic illness

Article Abstract:

There is little evidence that the social consequences of chronic illness are determined by diagnosis, according to research into cognitive, behavioural, and emotional elements of peer interactions of chronically ill children. It was established that the emotional element of social functioning appears to reflect an interaction with disease parameters that are characteristic of specific diagnostic groups. Consideration must be given to undertaking further research into the tendency of chronically ill children to give extremely socially desirable answers.

Article Abstract:

Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the cross-informant model of the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and the Teacher Report Form (TRF), based on samples from seven different countries. The results suggested that the cross-informant model is a poor fit for data based on conventional rules of fit, simulation and comparison with other models.
