Popis: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presents challenges to psychological adjustment, and a patient’s psychological adjustment, in turn, can impact disease course and health outcomes. The purpose of this chapter is to review psychological aspects of pediatric IBD in the areas of behavioral/emotional functioning, social functioning, family functioning, quality of life, disease self-management, self-esteem, stress and coping, and academic functioning. Research on psychosocial interventions in pediatric IBD will be reviewed, and recommendations regarding psychosocial functioning and strategies for optimizing quality of life will be provided.
