Abstract

This meta-analysis examines the behavioral challenges faced by children and adolescents diagnosed with chronic physical illnesses. It synthesizes findings from multiple studies to identify common behavioral problems, such as anxiety, depression, and conduct issues, and assesses the prevalence and severity of these problems compared to their physically healthy peers. The results reveal that children and adolescents with chronic illnesses exhibit significantly higher rates of behavioral problems, influenced by factors such as illness type, duration, and family dynamics. The findings underscore the importance of integrating psychological support into the care plans for young patients with chronic conditions to enhance their overall well-being and quality of life.
