OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe @entity158 characteristics, coping strategies, @entity308 , and functional disability in @entity1 and adolescents with @entity1118 and to examine potential factors that are associated with functional disability in a @entity158 population. The secondary aim of this study was to compare functional disability in two @entity1118 conditions: localized @entity4512 and chronic @entity2794 . SUBJECTS: The @entity1 in this study were 73 @entity158 @entity1 with a variety of @entity1118 conditions. Subjects in the second part of the study were a subset of @entity1 (N = 44) from the @entity158 clinic sample with chronic localized @entity4512 and a subset of @entity1 (N = 38) from the @entity10 center of the same hospital who had chronic @entity2794 . DESIGN: @entity1 completed self-report measures of @entity158 intensity, @entity308 , coping strategies, coping efficacy, and functional disability. RESULTS: Results indicated that @entity1118 had a substantial impact on the @entity1 's lives and that @entity308 was strongly associated with functional disability. Maladaptive coping was correlated with @entity308 and disability; however, maladaptive coping was not independently associated with functional disability. A comparison between the two groups found significant differences in @entity158 intensity and functional disability. The localized @entity4512 group reported higher levels of disability and more difficulty coping than the chronic daily @entity10 group. CONCLUSIONS: The implications for treatment of @entity1118 in @entity1 are discussed with an emphasis on greater attention to developmental issues and their relation to coping, emotional functioning, and disability in @entity158 . Further research examining differences in coping and disability between different @entity158 groups is also warranted.
