“…To further accentuate the implications of a more positive illness identity, we found that as the adolescents sense more positive illness identity, they participate in more food-related activities in their daily life and enjoy participating more. Participation, or engagement in daily life meaningful activities, directly influences health and quality of life (30,31). The role of participation provides the context in which children and young people develop and prepare for life transitions (32,33).…”

Objectives: The aim was to examine the reliability and validity of the Illness Identity Questionnaire (IIQ) among adolescents with celiac disease (CD), to describe their illness identity characteristics, and to examine relationships between illness identity and self-reported participation in food-related activities and quality of life. Methods: Adolescents with CD (n = 91) were recruited for this cross-sectional study via social media interest groups. Participants completed online questionnaires: the IIQ, the CD Children's Activities Chart (CD-Chart), and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Results: Internal reliability was established for IIQ items (α = 0.87) and for its 4 components (α = 0.75--0.90). The positive components (acceptance, enrichment) significantly differed from the negative components (rejection, engulfment), t(90) = 11.45, P < 0.001, d = 1.98. Feelings were more positive (M = 3.48, SD = 0.67) than negative (M = 2.06, SD = 0.76). The total IIQ was positively associated with the CD-Chart amount of activities (r = 0.30, P < 0.01) and enjoyment (r = 0.34, P < 0.001) and with the PedsQL social scale (r = 0.53, P < 0.001). Conclusions: The IIQ established acceptable reliability and validity. In all, the adolescents with CD exhibited an illness identity profile that was more positive and adaptive than negative. The IIQ can contribute to understanding the developmental status of illness identity during the critical transition process from adolescence to adulthood.

“…An older adult's journey does not end at a set timeline but continues only through engaging in meaningful occupations essential for well-being and health (Hasselkus, 2011). Through engagement with the Coin Catcher game, the participants expressed their overall enjoyment, affirming the benefits of staying active by facilitating engagement and participation through the use of meaningful activities (Lamb, 2016).…”

Children with celiac disease may face challenges in managing a gluten-free diet during their daily interactions and activities. The objective of this study was to compare how children with celiac disease manage their gluten-free diet and participate in food-related activities in Italy and Israel and to assess their quality of life. The previously validated Children’s Activities Report (CD-Chart) and the Disease-specific Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children with Celiac Disease (CDDUX) were administered in Italy to children aged 8–16 diagnosed with CD (n = 39). The results were compared to data that had been previously gathered from Israeli children with CD (n = 106). The CD-Chart demonstrated satisfactory internal reliability within each cultural group (Italy: α = 0.82; Israel: α = 0.76). Mann–Whitney U-tests indicated significant differences between the two groups. The Italian children exhibited a significantly higher preference for participating in the activities compared to the Israelis (U = 3283.50, p < 0.001). Nonetheless, the Italian children displayed a notable decrease in their level of involvement in the preparation required before engaging in different activities (U = 760.50, p < 0.001). Moreover, they exhibited significantly lower self-determination in this preparatory process compared to the Israeli children (U = 726.00, p < 0.001). Significant group differences were found between the CDDUX children’s self-reports and parents’ proxy reports in the Israeli group but not in the Italian group. The CD-Chart revealed both shared and distinct participation characteristics in daily food-related activities across different cultural contexts. By incorporating the CD-Chart and the CDDUX, healthcare professionals can emphasize crucial aspects of day-to-day health management and guide them in establishing suitable intervention objectives to enhance effective health self-management.
