“…Parents of children with JIA had lower quality of life in all the domains as compared with parents of children with asthma or epilepsy and AE. Both diabetes and JIA are conditions that place enormous demands on caring for the children and managing their behavior, ensuring their compliance with treatment or organizing their school and extracurricular activities; they are also associated with increased parents' concerns about unexpected deterioration of their children's health (Wiedebusch et al, 2008;Moreira et al, 2014). Unlike the present study, some authors have also reported a more profound impact of children's diseases on their parents.…”

“…Similarly, Crespo et al (2011) reported only a weak to moderate correlation between the impact of illness on parents and their asthmatic children's quality of life. A study by Moreira et al (2014) highlighted an interrelation between the child's illness and family functioning as well as an interrelation between family functioning and the child's psychosocial status. The presented results regarding coping of diabetic children's parents are consistent with those in a study by Azar and Solomon (2001).…”

Aim: The survey aimed at determining the associations between the quality of life of children with chronic diseases, the quality of life of their parents and coping strategies used in the family. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: The study was performed as quantitative research using a questionnaire survey in chronically ill children (n = 288) aged 2-12 years and their parents. The following instruments were used: Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Family Impact Module and Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales. Results: The association between the quality of life of diabetic children and their parents' quality of life, family functioning and the impact of the illness on the family was weak. Children with diabetes had the highest quality of life but the quality of life of their parents was lowest among all disease groups in the study. The lowest overall quality of life of children was noted among those with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The strongest positive associations between internal coping strategies (i.e. reframing and passive appraisal) and children's and parents' quality of life was observed in the families of children with asthma. Conclusions: The weak association between children's and parents' quality of life and coping strategies pointed to their low effectiveness. The results suggest that relevant interventions should be used that promote selection of new coping strategies.

“…Besides, according to the participation-identification theory, the success of participation in school activities links to identification with school climate, of which school belonging is one of the most important parts (Wehlage, 1989). Students from cohesive family show more prosocial behavior and better social inclusion (Moreira et al, 2014). They may get more involved in school-based activities and develop strong school belonging.…”

Apparently, family, especially family cohesion, plays an important role in adolescents' wellbeing and adaptation.…”

Abstract. There have been plenty of researches about how to improve a sense of school belonging. However, few of the studies start from the cooperation of family and school. This study utilizes a sample of 365 students aged from 7 years old to 20 years old to reveal the relationships of family cohesion and school belonging. The mediating effects of security and achievement goals are also examined. The correlational results indicate that family cohesion is positively and significantly associated with school belonging, interpersonal security and mastery goals. School belonging links to interpersonal security, mastery goals, performance-approach goals and performance-avoidance goals positively and prominently. The structural model manifests that family cohesion can predict school belonging not only positively and directly but also via the mediating role of interpersonal security and achievement goals, which only includes mastery-oriented goals, namely mastery goals and performance-approach goals. This research suggests that the cooperation of family and school is effective and emphasizes the importance of mental wellbeing as the mediator.

“…Badania Moreiry i in. [63] wykazują, że poziom jakości życia zależnej od zdrowia wiąże się z lepszym przystosowaniem rodziców, również do sytuacji choroby dziecka, z większą spójnością rodziny, sprawną komunikacją i z ogólnie lepszym funkcjonowaniem rodziny. Czynniki te sprawiają, że rodzina może stanowić mocne źródło wsparcia dla dzieci chorych [64].…”
