Parenting Stress over the First Year of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Diagnosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children can disrupt the family, including altered routines and increased medical responsibilities. This may increase parenting stress; however, little is known about parenting stress changes over the first year following an IBD diagnosis, including what demographic, disease, or psychosocial factors may be associated with parenting stress over time.

Methods

Fifty-three caregivers of children newly diagnosed with IBD (Mage = 14.17 years; Mdays since diagnosis = 26.15) completed parenting stress (Pediatric Inventory for Parents), child anxiety (Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Disorders), and child health-related quality of life (HRQOL; IMPACT) measures within 1 month of diagnosis and 6-month and 1-year follow-ups.
