The purpose of this chapter is to (a) define hope as it applies to children and the growth of hope across developmental stages; (b) describe the way family members, teachers, and other significant adults can foster hope in children; (c) review studies on the relationship between hope and pediatric health and illness, including studies on health promotion, adherence to chronic pediatric diseases, and coping with a chronic pediatric disease; and (d) share knowledge related to patients with chronic pediatric diseases and how they maintain hope given the additional challenges they face in their lives.

The objective of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the emotional distress hypothesized to be concurrently associated with the chronic pain experience in children and adolescents. One hundred and sixty children and adolescents with chronic pain and their parents completed standardized assessment instruments measuring pain intensity, depressive symptoms, state anxiety, trait anxiety, general self-esteem, and internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Consistent with the a priori Biobehavioral Model of Pediatric Pain, higher patient-perceived pain intensity was associated with higher depressive and anxious symptoms, lower general self-esteem, and higher behavior problems. The results are discussed in regard to preventing and treating pain and suffering in children and adolescents with chronic pain.

Parental ratings were found to be significant predictors of active joint counts, accounting for 40% of the variance in joint counts. Internal consistency reliability was moderately high (0.819), but test-retest reliability was moderate to low; this is not unexpected given the fluctuations in symptoms of JRA over time. The results suggest that parental ratings are valid and moderately reliable measures of disease activity in JRA. Regular monitoring of symptoms by parents could be a useful source of information for health care providers in making treatment decisions and can increase parental and patient involvement in the treatment process.
