A study of school adjustment, self-concept, self-esteem, general wellbeing and parent child relationship in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
Indian Journal of Pediatrics 2013 March
OBJECTIVE: To assess school adjustment, self-concept, self-esteem, general wellbeing and parent-child relationship in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)and to study the correlation of these parameters with chronicity of disease, number of active joints, laboratory parameters of disease activity and JIA subtypes.
METHODS: A total of 64 children (32 cases and 32 controls) were recruited for analysis. Self report questionnaires which included PGI General Wellbeing Measure, Adjustment Inventory for School Students, Parent Child Relationship Scale, Self Esteem Inventory and Self Concept Questionnaires were used to assess all the enrolled subjects.
RESULTS: Cases had significantly lower general physical well being (p < 0.001), self- esteem (p = 0.039), social self-concept (p = 0.023) and poorer social (p = 0.002), educational (p = 0.002) and overall (p = 0.006) adjustment as compared to controls. Both parents of cases were significantly more demanding (p = 0.028, p = 0.004)and mothers were over protective (p = 0.009) and pampering with object rewards (p = 0.02). PGI wellbeing score (p = 0.042, p = 0.019) and self concept (p = 0.002, for social SCQ p = 0.030) correlated well with number of active joints and ESR. As the disease duration increased, fathers tended to neglect their children (p = 0.043) and with persistent disease activity (reflected by CRP positivity) even resorted to punishment (p = 0.022) or remained indifferent (p = 0.048).
CONCLUSIONS: JIA significantly hampers the child's self-esteem, self-concept, adjustment in school, general wellbeing and evokes disturbed parent-child relationship.
