Sažetak
The aim of the study was to determine whether parents` perception of their children illness (their emotional distress) is related to the actual health status of the child. The PAID (Personal Areas in Diabetes) scale was used in order to evaluate the emotional distress in parents of diabetic children, while the actual health of the children was measured by CHQ-PF50 questionnaire (Children Health Questionnaire- Parents Form 50 items). One month before the summer camp for diabetic children the two questionnaires were administered to the parents. The total number of answered questionnaires was 27. The average score obtained on PAID questionnaire was 26, 02± ; 14, 82. There was no relation between the actual health of the children and the parents´ emotional distress originating from perception of their child’ s health. The regression analysis was also not signifi cant and none of the actual health parameters obtained by CHQ-PF 50 was found to be a signifi cant predictor of parental perception of their child’ s illness. As it is known that children whose parents perceive them to be in poor health use more of the ambulatory care and participate less in sports activities, these fi ndings may be important for the practitioners treating children with diabetes
