Relationship between pain coping strategies in parents with migraine and their children: A study focusing on adolescence
Öz
Purpose: This study aims to scrutinize how the relationships between parents' and adolescents' coping strategies with migraine through correlational analysis of quantitative data as well as supporting qualitative information.
Materials and Methods: This research included 70 parents and their adolescent children diagnosed with migraine after neurological evaluation. Besides the sociodemographic data, the commonly used pain coping methods by participants were examined with the Headache Questionnaire. The groups' pain coping strategies were measured with the sub-dimensions of the Pain Coping Questionnaire.
Results: Positive and significant relationships were found between parents and adolescents in terms of the use of functional behavioral (r=.29, p=.015) and cognitive coping strategies (r=.29, p=.015). Both groups were similar in their frequency rates of preferring ineffective attack treatment and inappropriate analgesic usage. The significant correlations found between the scores of groups’ for coping with pain by seeking ineffective medical remedies supported our qualitative results (r=.35, p=.003). Conclusion: The possible roles of parents' knowledge and practices regarding pain management on their children with similar headache complaints may be variable in itself, depending on some developmental and individual issues with the onset of adolescence period.
