Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Family Health

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) significantly impacts families, particularly children.
  • Children of parents with MS may experience emotional distress and require support.
  • Coping strategies are crucial for pediatric well-being in chronic illness contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review methods for helping children of parents with MS develop positive coping strategies.
  • To identify factors contributing to improved emotional well-being in children with a parent diagnosed with MS.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of multiple academic databases was performed.
  • Databases included were Academic Search Complex, CINAHL, Health Source, Medline, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection.
  • No publication year limitations were imposed on the search.

Main Results:

  • Increased coping skills, social support, and disease knowledge correlate with reduced emotional distress in children of parents with MS.
  • Evidence suggests a positive association between enhanced coping mechanisms and greater overall life satisfaction.
  • Children benefit from improved understanding of the disease process and robust social networks.

Conclusions:

  • Intervention programs targeting specific age groups are needed to promote coping, social support, and MS knowledge.
  • Healthcare providers must consider the needs of children when a parent has MS.
  • Addressing family dynamics and providing tailored support is essential for pediatric adjustment.
