Abstract EN
Purpose.
To explore the interactions between child and parents psychosocial factors and team integration variables that may explain improvements in physical dimensions of the PEDS QL quality of life of children with complex needs after 2 years.
Methods.
In this 2-year study, parents were identified by the Children's Treatment Network.
Families were eligible if the child was aged 0–19 years, had physical limitations, resided in either Simcoe County or the Region of York, Ontario, and there were multiple other family needs.
Regression analysis used to explore associations and interactions; n=110.
Results.
A child's physical quality of life was affected by interacting factors including child's behavior, parenting, and integrated care.
Statistically significant interactions between team integration, processes of care, and child/parent variables highlight the complexity of the rehabilitation approach in real-life situations.
Conclusions.
Rehabilitation providers working with children with complex needs and their families should also address child and parent problematic behaviors.
When this was the case in high integrated teams, the child's physical quality of life improved after two years.
