@article{Elliot_Roberts_2005, title={Families Of Children With Chronic Illness: }, volume={20}, url={http://acycpjournal.pitt.edu/ojs/jcycw/article/view/404}, abstractNote={A significant number of children are born with some kind of serious chronic illness and increasing numbers of youth with chronic illness are admitted to the care system. Given the improvements in medical treatments, the life expectancy of these children is rapidly increasing. The consequence is that affected families will need to adapt to, and accommodate, the needs of these special children. This literature review provides an overview of key research in this area, paying special attention to investigations that have focused on parents and siblings. This review will be especially salient for those child and youth care professionals who support these children and their families in the care system. }, journal={Journal of Child and Youth Care Work}, author={Elliot, Tara and Roberts, Jillian}, year={2005}, month={Mar.}, pages={72–82} }
