当孩子患有慢性疾病时，很明显，家庭和学校必须结成伙伴关系，以确保孩子的教育需要得到满足。然而，家庭与学校的合作对于解决患有慢性疾病儿童的兄弟姐妹的需求也很重要。患有癌症等疾病的儿童的兄弟姐妹通常非常痛苦，并且可能在诊断后两年内学业成绩下降。老师和同班同学可能是这些孩子宝贵的支持来源。本文记录了癌症儿童的兄弟姐妹的心理健康需求，描述了他们对家庭和学校来源的社会支持的数量和社会支持的重要性的看法，并揭示了社会支持与更积极的情感、行为和学业功能之间的重要联系。这些发现表明，家庭与学校的合作关系可能对解决癌症儿童的兄弟姐妹的心理健康需求很有价值。
When a child has a chronic illness, it is readily apparent that the family and school must enter into a partnership to assure that the educational needs of the child are being met. A family–school partnership, however, may also be important to address the needs of siblings of children with chronic illness. Siblings of children with diseases such as cancer are often highly distressed and may experience decrements in academic achievement within 2 years of diagnosis. Teachers and classroom peers may be a valuable source of support to these children. This manuscript documents the mental health needs of siblings of children with cancer, describes their perceptions regarding amount of social support received and importance of social support across home and school sources, and reveals important associations between social support and more positive emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning. These findings suggest that family–school partnerships may be valuable to address the mental health needs of siblings of children with cancer.
