AU - in collaboration with the Canadian Inherited Metabolic Diseases Research Network PY - 2019 DA - 2019/07/01 TI - A systematic review of the association between coping strategies and quality of life among caregivers of children with chronic illness and/or disability JO - BMC Pediatrics SP - 215 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Parents of children with chronic illness have reported decreased psychological and physical quality of life (QoL) relative to parents of children without such illness, which may be associated with the extent of complexity involved in the caregiving role. Given that coping strategies have been reported to influence QoL, our goal was to synthesize existing research about the association between coping strategies and QoL in caregivers of children with chronic illness. We were particularly interested in whether coping strategies may mediate the association between caregiving complexity and QoL, or may modify the association.
