Abstract

We examined the relations between chronic diseases, coping strategy patterns, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among children and adolescents with three chronic health conditions: Asthma, diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. While both disease and coping patterns predicted HRQOL, the relationship between coping patterns and HRQOL was markedly stronger.
