Background: Exposure to parental chronic illness is associated with several adverse developmental outcomes. Objectives: We examined the association between parental multiple sclerosis (MS) and childhood developmental outcomes. Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study in Manitoba, Canada, using linked databases. The outcome was childhood development at 5 years of age, expressed as vulnerability (absent vs. present) on the Early Development Instrument (EDI). Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Children with an MS parent ( n=153) were similar to children of unaffected parents ( n=876) on all EDI domains. However, mental health morbidity was more common among MS parents compared with non-MS parents 49.5% vs. 35.3%. Among MS parents, mental health morbidity was associated with children’s vulnerability on the social competence (OR, 5.73 [95% CI:1.11–29.58]) and emotional maturity (OR, 3.03 [95% CI:1.03–8.94]) domains. The duration of child’s exposure to parental MS was associated with vulnerability on the physical health domain (OR, 1.49 [95%CI:1.03–2.15]). Conclusion: Parental MS was not associated with adverse early childhood developmental outcomes. However, children of parents with mental health morbidity, and those with longer duration of exposure to parental MS, were at higher risk for early childhood developmental vulnerability.

“…Vier Prozent aller Kinder zwischen 4 und 18 Jahren sind in diesem Moment mit einer schweren körperlichen Erkrankung eines Elternteils konfrontiert (Barkmann, Romer, Watson, Schulte-Markwort, 2007). Dies ist für Kinder eine stark belastende Situation, die unter Umständen lang andauert und nachgewiesenermaßen einen Risikofaktor für psychische Störungen darstellt (Thastum et al, 2009).…”

“…Bereits seit den 60er Jahren ist bekannt, dass das Risiko für psychische Störungen von Kindern mit einem körperlich schwer erkrankten Elternteil erhöht ist (Rutter, 1966). Mehrere aktuellere Untersuchungen bestätigen diese frühen Befunde (für eine Übersicht siehe Osborn, 2007;Thastum et al, 2009;Barkmann et al, 2007). Insbesondere zeigen Kinder vermehrt introversive Probleme wie Angst und depressive Gedanken (Romer et al, 2005;Visser et al, 2005), je nach Entwicklungsstufe des Kindes treten unterschiedliche Symptome in den Vordergrund (Romer u. Haagen, 2007;Diareme et al, 2007).…”

Brustkrebskranke Mütter und ihre Kinder: Erste Ergebnisse zur Effektivität der familienorientierten onkologischen Rehabilitationsmaßnahme "gemeinsam gesund werden"Praxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie 59 (2010) When a parent has a serious somatic illness, children suffer grave distress, their risk to develop a mental disorder increases. Sick mothers, in comparison to patients without children, experience additional strain, e. g. because they worry about their children. Although many studies focus on the quality of life of breast cancer patients, little is known about the special situation of young mothers with breast cancer. Currently, a prospective study with four assessment points (pre, post, 3-and 12-months-follow-up) is conducted on a large sample of women taking part in the family-oriented inpatient rehabilitation program "gemeinsam gesund werden". In this paper a longitudinal sample of 173 women and 153 children, their quality of life and psychological impairment prior to, after and in the course of one year after the rehabilitation is presented. Compared to the general population, the children as well as the mothers are considerably impaired, especially in regard to Psychological Health/Emotional Functioning. These impairments improve markedly within the survey period. One year after the rehabilitation, the children show no more impairment than the reference groups. The mothers improve significantly as well, however, after one year their quality of life scores are still lower than those of the general population. In conclusion, a considerable impairment of the analyzed group of mothers with breast cancer and their children, the necessity of special supportive measures as well as the effectiveness of the model rehabilitation program can be shown.Prax.
