Caregivers of Children with Cerebral Palsy and Resiliency Model of Family Adaptation
Abstract
The resiliency model of family stress, adjustment and adaptation is a theoretical framework used in this article to understand how families adapt when their child has had a chronic illness. This article describes the resiliency model in relation to the findings of research on families where a child has an unremitting illness. Identifying the factors impacting on the caregivers and the adaptation process they experience provides valuable insight and information to the provision of family centered services.
