Disease-Related Predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life in Youth With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
ConclusionsThe clinical symptoms of EoE, specifically epigastric pain, were found to be predictive of the youth ’s HRQoL. Targeted interventions to help youth with EoE better manage their specific symptom experiences could ultimately improve HRQoL. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Psychology)

Pain Acceptance as a Predictor of Medical Utilization and School Absenteeism in Adolescents With Chronic Pain
ConclusionsFindings suggest that lower pain acceptance contributes to the use of higher-level medical care (especially for adolescents with internalizing disorders) and increased productivity loss owing to school absences or homebound school status. Clinical implications exist for recommending acceptance-based interventions for pain acceptance promotion and continued development of cost-effective, easily disseminated acceptance-based therapy modules to curb the economic burden of chronic pain.

Finding Silver Linings: A Preliminary Examination of Benefit Finding in Youth With Chronic Pain
ConclusionsFindings suggest that benefit finding is associated with internalizing mental health symptoms, pain outcomes, and quality of life in youth with chronic pain. Future research examining this construct is warranted. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Psychology)

Earlier Pediatric Psychology Consultation Predicts Lower Stem Cell Transplantation Hospital Costs
ConclusionsResults suggest that facilitating consultations with a pediatric psychologist early in the initial SCT hospitalization may reduce costs for patients undergoing SCT at children ’s hospitals. Future research is needed to determine the optimal timing of psychology consultation and quantify the economic impact of psychological services. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Psychology)

Psychometric Evaluation of the IBD-Specific Anxiety Scale: A Novel Measure of Disease-Related Anxiety for Adolescents With IBD
ConclusionsBased on the results of this study, the IBD-SAS displayed adequate psychometric properties and can meaningfully contribute to the assessment of IBD-specific anxiety in adolescents diagnosed with IBD, thus filling an empirical and clinical need in this population.

Family Functioning, Medical Self-Management, and Health Outcomes Among School-Aged Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Mediation Model
ConclusionFostering family efficacy and reducing parenting stress may be meaningful intervention targets for improving SCD self-management and child HRQOL among school-aged children. Although findings were consistent with the Pediatric Self-Management Model in terms of HRQOL, the model was not supported for pain episodes or urgent health utilization, highlighting the need for multi-method, longitudinal research on the SCD self-management behaviors that are linked to preventable health outcomes.

Social Risk and Resilience Factors in Adolescent Chronic Pain: Examining the Role of Parents and Peers
ConclusionsThis study highlights the salience of both family and peer processes in functional outcomes among adolescents with chronic pain. Results suggest that adolescents ’ adaptive responses to chronic pain may be best supported by the simultaneous presence of adaptive parenting and high-quality peer relationships. Understanding the larger social context in which an adolescent exists is informative in specifying models that predict adaptive outcomes or magnify ris ks. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Psychology)

The Comfort Ability Pain Management Workshop: A Preliminary, Nonrandomized Investigation of a Brief, Cognitive, Biobehavioral, and Parent Training Intervention for Pediatric Chronic Pain
ConclusionsThis brief intervention is both feasible and acceptable. Although small effect sizes were found for all outcome measures, parents and adolescents made significant gains postintervention. In the absence of a direct comparison group, we cannot determine if these improvements are exclusively attributable to the intervention. Future research will be needed to understand the degree to which this brief intervention may effectively enhance the attainment of evidence-based psychoeducation and cognitive behavioral skills that are known to foster adaptive parent and adolescent responses to chronic pain.
