Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to describe pain coping strategies and their evolution in children and adolescent with cerebral palsy
Detailed Description:
Towards the end of the 20th century Lazarus and Folkmann developed the concept that the individual provides cognitive and behavioral efforts to control reduce or tolerate the internal or external demands that threaten or exceed his or her resources These cognitive and behavioral efforts are grouped under the term coping which describes a process rather than personality traits or abilities Coping is not about controlling stress but about diminishing avoiding tolerating or accepting it
The pain unpleasant sensory and emotional experience related to a bodily injury aims to warn the individual that the integrity of his body is threatened and is thus a real stressor It will lead to the choice of coping strategies which depends in part on the characteristics of the individual his beliefs stress endurance anxiety propensity and environmental variables characteristics of the painful situation social support and emotional connections information about the threatening situation Many studies have shown that the strategies used to cope with chronic pain in adults and children play a major role in the adjustment of patients to their pathology in terms of emotional distress disability and quality of life The different types of strategies have been widely studied in the literature in so-called typical children Active strategies classically found in pediatrics are distraction cognitive self-instruction and problem solving These active strategies are said to be positive because they have been proven to help children manage pain more effectively than passive strategies such as catastrophism helplessness or seeking social support which are dysfunctional because they are not focused on the problem and increase the negative consequences associated with pain
This study is about children with cerebral palsy CP because the great variability and complexity of the manifestations of the pathology and the therapeutic treatment make it that there is a big risk for the child to experience pain with a prevalence of pain ranging from 60 to 73 depending on the evaluation methods Research has done a great deal in recent years to improve the assessment and management of inborn or induced pain in children with disabilities with many validated recommendations even though this still appears to be a neglected comorbidity in PC However coping strategies of PC children with pain have never been studied The purpose of this work is to describe these strategies in PC children and adolescents as well as their evolution
