1.5 Hour of Category I CE credit Thursday, November 18th, 2021, 9:55 - 11:25 a.m. ET
Coping with Pediatric Chronic Medical and Pain Conditions
As the number of adolescents living with chronic medical conditions and pain has increased, psychologists are striving to develop comprehensive treatment modalities to meet the unique needs of this population. These children and adolescents experience major disruptions in developmental tasks including academic, social, and vocational functionality, which often is associated with familial distress as well as disruptions in relationships, communication, and cohesion (Carter & Threlkeld, 2012). Modifications of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions geared toward improved functionality have been found effective in decreasing symptomology and increasing adherence (Velleman et al., 2010). Specifically, the Children's Health and Illness Recovery Program (CHIRP; Carter let al., 2019) has been found to be an effective modality in reducing pain, fatigue, and functional disability in adolescents while improving familial communication and quality of relationships. This presentation would propose to discuss treatment strategies for this unique population.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. utilize knowledge of pain to inform treatment of patients and families.
2. apply effective clinical interventions for treatment of chronic medical conditions and pain
3. discuss applications and resources to aid in treatment of patients with chronic medical conditions or chronic pain.
Presenter: Elaine Gilbert, PsyD, HSPP, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology and Pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine and Director of Gastroenterology Psychological Services at Riley Children’s Hospital
I am a pediatric psychologist and specialize in the interplay of medical and mental health symptoms. I work within Riley’s Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Nutrition Division treating children and adolescents in coping with chronic medical conditions, pain syndromes, anxiety, depression, and specific phobias. My clinical interests guide my research efforts involved in adaptive coping techniques for chronic medical conditions, assessing and treating anxiety and depression within subspeciality practice, as well as quality improvement incentives.
Dr. Elaine Gilbert
