Quality of Life of Schoolchildren Living with a Long-Term Sick Parent: The Role of Tasks at Home, Life Circumstances and Social Support
This study investigates whether there are differences in quality of life—i.e., psychosomatic complaints and life satisfaction—between schoolchildren with and without a chronically ill or disabled parent at home. It also examines the role played by the intensity of tasks, life circumstances, and social support at home and school. In 2017, a Dutch representative sample of adolescents aged between 12 and 16 (from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study) completed a questionnaire about illness of family members, tasks at home, life circumstances and characteristics, social support, psychosomatic complaints and life satisfaction. In total, 5470 schoolchildren who did not have a parent with a chronic illness and 652 who did have a parent with a chronic illness were selected (average age 13.9). Stepwise multilevel logistic regression analyses in STATA were used. Schoolchildren with an ill parent had more psychosomatic complaints and lower life satisfaction than their counterparts without an ill parent, even when controlling for extra task hours, specific life circumstances and characteristics (e.g., more likely to be growing up in a single-parent family or stepfamily and more likely to be female), and lower perceived support. These aspects are also predictors of a lower quality of life. Professionals should address these aspects of the life of schoolchildren with a sick parent in such a way that they are facilitated to make a successful transition to adulthood.

Caring for mum
Ryan, Shannen and Aaron Hunt are perfectly ordinary children but their home-life is rather different to that of their friends at school. Their mother has been battling with illness for several years. With irregular contact with their father, the children spend a lot of time helping to run the home. In this documentary, Shannen introduces her family. As the new school year begins, the programme follows the ups and downs of life at home for the children. An extraordinary sequence of events unfold throughout the documentary, revealing that the real impact of their mother's illness turns out to be far more complex than it would at first appear. This film offers an insight into the reality of life at the other end of the sick note. How Am I Different? is a documentary series which gives a voice to children who live in challenging circumstances.

Psychisch kranke Eltern, für Kinder (k)ein Problem?
\"Psychisch kranke Menschen... ja, die haben bestimmt auch Angehörige...\" Wenn von Angehörigen psychisch kranker Menschen die Rede ist, wird von Eltern, Geschwistern oder Partnern gesprochen. Psychisch kranke Menschen haben aber auch Kinder und diese Kinder sind vielfach minderjährig.In diesem Buch wird die Anzahl der in Deutschland lebender Kinder angeführt, die ein oder zwei psychisch kranke Elternteile haben und ob sie bei ihren Eltern leben. Die Gestaltung des Zusammenlebens wird dargelegt und die Auswirkungen der Erkrankung auf die Lebenssituation und die Entwicklung der Kinder angeführt. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung stehen die konkreten Strategien, die diese Kinder wählen oder vielmehr die ihnen zur Verfügung stehen um ihre spezielle Lebenssituation zu bewältigen. Zudem wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche familiären Bewältigungsmuster dazu beitragen, Konflikte in der Familie zu bearbeiten und zu bewältigen. Besonders wichtig für die Soziale Arbeit ist die Frage, was sich hieraus für die Gestaltung der Hilfssysteme ableiten lässt. Für die Soziale Arbeit stellt sich insbesondere die Frage nach den Kindern, die eine psychische Erkrankung der Eltern \"unbeschadet\" überstehen obwohl sie zu einer Risikogruppe gehören.Yvonne Behla ist es besonders wichtig, zu verdeutlichen, dass die meisten Kinder resilient gegenüber psychischen Erkrankungen der Eltern sind. In diesem Buch wird besonders auf schützende Faktoren und die Unterstützung und Förderung durch die Soziale Arbeit hingewiesen.
