Abstract:
Pediatric rheumatic diseases (PRDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that can have a chronic unpredictable disease course that can negatively affect mood, functioning, and quality of life. Given the range of difficulties faced in managing PRDs, as well as the psychosocial issues youth with these diseases experience, pediatric psychologists can be well suited to address concerns that arise in care for youth with PRDs including adherence, cognitive assessment, pain management, functional disability, and mood. Potential ways that pediatric psychologists can address these concerns and be embedded within an interdisciplinary treatment plan for youth with PRDs are described.
