Dzieciństwo w chorobie i niepełnosprawności - obraz realny i oczekiwany przez dzieci

Abstract

This article presents the results of my own studies concerning the quality of life of children with chronic diseases. To find the answers to the factors responsible for life quality two approaches were utilized. First, the objective approach which looks at the influence of the environment and the individual character of the child and second, the subjective approach which looks at the psychological impacts on the children derived from their success stories, disappointments as well as goals and dreams. The realities and expectations af the sample group were determined as a result of extensive collection of information in regards to their relationships with family, piers and classmates.
