Abstract

This review gives an overview about the existing research concerning siblings' perspective within the familial experiences of childhood chronic illness. Besides attaining a conception of their world, it was intended to identify the unacknowledged issues concerning siblings' experience. Four databases were systematically searched. The analysis was concentrated on nine literature reviews. As a result, we identified a map of dimensions of experiences-well-elaborated as well as fragmentary. Many of the studies were conducted by a proxy and not from the sole siblings' perspective. Further research should concentrate on the sole siblings' perspective, in order to make siblings' voices audible.
