Abstract
The purposes of this study were to identify the family coping strategies among families with chronically ill children and to explore the relationship between the family system (variables), the family burden and the family coping. One hundred fifty-two families with chronically ill children were studied. The Japanese version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales II and the Family Coping Behavior Inventory II were used. The result were 1) the family cohesion and adaptability in families with a chronically ill child tended to be lower than normal families; 2) the integration coping pattern was positively related with family cohesion and the family burden; 3) the problem solving coping pattern was positively related with the family burden; 4) the normalization coping pattern was negatively related with the family burden and positively related with the family cohesion; 5) the crisis response coping pattern was positively related with the family burden and negatively related with the family cohesion.
