The impact of chronic pain on adolescents and their families: A qualitative investigation of parental perspectives
This study provides a deeper understanding of the negative effect chronic pain can have on adolescents and family life. Our findings call for interventions to mitigate the physical, psychological, and social impact of chronic pain on adolescents. Family level interventions are also needed to support families of adolescents with chronic pain. More research is needed to explore adolescents' own views of their experiences with chronic pain.
