Discuss the transactional stress and coping model (for chronic childhood illness) as proposed by Thompson and colleagues

What will be an ideal response?


The transactional stress and coping model explains how children's adaptation to chronic illness is influenced not only by the nature of the illness itself, but also by personal and family resources (Gustafson et al., 2006; Thompson et al., 1994). This model helps make sense of the complicated processes that shape children's outcomes. The transactional stress and coping model emphasizes the stressful nature of chronic illness, which compels the child and family members to adapt. How they accomplish the adaptation is a key factor in children's outcomes.
