Chronic medical conditions permeate our schools with estimates showing that between 15% and 25% of students present with an ongoing illness or disease. Treatments for the most prevalent of these conditions (e.g., diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, juvenile arthritis, and asthma) include hospitalizations, home treatments, and frequent physician appointments-all of which are highly disruptive to children and families. Given the potential medical, cognitive/academic, social-emotional, and behavioral challenges encountered by students with chronic medical conditions, school psychologists are in a unique position to both identify and support the educational experiences of these students. Further, schools provide an ideal forum for outcomes research and intervention programs. This Introduction to the Special Issue on School-Related Outcomes and Success for Youth With Chronic Medical Conditions addresses definitional issues, identifies challenges, reviews the 7 empirical articles in this issue, and discusses areas for future research. This special issue includes scientifically rigorous papers, which feature innovative studies that emphasize real-time, momentary assessments; positive psychology frameworks; and intervention approaches.

慢性疾病在我们的学校中普遍存在,据估计,有 15%至 25%的学生患有持续的疾病或身体不适。针对这些最常见疾病(如糖尿病、癫痫、癌症、青少年关节炎和哮喘)的治疗包括住院、家庭治疗和频繁的医生预约——所有这些都会对儿童及其家庭造成极大的干扰。鉴于患有慢性疾病的学生可能面临潜在的医学、认知/学业、社会情感和行为挑战,学校心理学家处于独特的位置,可以识别和支持这些学生的教育经历。此外,学校为成果研究和干预计划提供了理想的论坛。本期特刊《与慢性病青少年相关的学校成果和成功介绍》探讨了定义问题,确定了挑战,回顾了本期特刊中的 7 篇实证文章,并讨论了未来研究的领域。本期特刊包含了科学严谨的论文,这些论文具有创新性,强调实时、瞬间评估;积极心理学框架;以及干预方法。(APA 版权所有,2019)。
