ASSESSING CHILDREN'S WELL-BEING
(cloth) |
|
Behavioral medicine has now matured as a field to the point
where all recognize that different populations are presented with different issues.
Psychological reactions and patterns affect the health and well-being of children, as well
as adults, and numerous standardized instruments for the assessment of a variety of areas
of children's functioning are currently available. Yet, it can be difficult for
practitioners and researchers searching through general compendia of resources for child
assessment--which are frequently focused on general techniques rather than specific
instruments--to identify the optimal ones to meet their particular needs and to choose
among them.
This practical and comprehensive reference guide is the first to sort, present, and review
all the measures that can be used to evaluate the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional
aspects of children's health. It organizes the measures under eight general headings, such
as quality of life, adherence, pain management, and patient satisfaction. Each chapter
begins with a leading authority's overview of the underlying theoretical construct and any
concerns about how to measure it. Descriptions and reviews of relevant instruments follow;
these include information on administration, scoring, psychometric properties, and
ordering, as well as comments by the instruments' developers.
Assessing Children's Well-Being: A Handbook of Measures will be welcomed by all those
professionals and scientists who seek to assess and effectively address the complex
interactions between physical health and mental health in children.
