Abstract
Children with chronic illnesses often spend a lot of time in the healthcare arena, sometimes that interaction can illicit positive emotions and other times negative emotions. Family’s often share those emotions or have their own version of the experience. The following paper looks at current research to determine if families with a chronically ill child have an increased number of negative emotions throughout their child’s healthcare process. This paper will include the secondary sources, rationale, fresh inquiry ideas that support this argument.
