TLDR
Pain and fatigue represent potentially modifiable targets for interventions designed to improve school functioning in children with CP and supported the existence of an indirect relationship between diagnostic subtypes and school functioning that was partially mediated by both pain and fatigue.Abstract:
Objective This study tests a model of how pain and fatigue, independently or in combination, relate to school functioning in pediatric cerebral palsy (CP). Methods One hundred eighty-nine parents of children with CP completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™) 4.0 Generic Core Scales and the PedsQL™ 3.0 Cerebral Palsy Module. Seventy-three children with CP completed the PedsQL™. Path-analytic and mediational techniques were utilized to test the a priori model. Results Data from both parent proxy-report and child self-report were found to have acceptable model fit. Results supported the existence of an indirect relationship between diagnostic subtypes and school functioning that was partially mediated by both pain and fatigue. Conclusions Pain and fatigue represent potentially modifiable targets for interventions designed to improve school functioning in children with CP.read more

TL;DR: This first comprehensive, multidisciplinary review of sleep hygiene for children with disabilities presents the rationale for incorporating these measures in their treatment, outlines both general and specific sleep-promotion practices, and discusses problem-solving strategies for implementing them in a variety of clinical practice settings.

Pain, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with chronic pain.
TL;DR: Fatigue is a significant problem for many youth with chronic pain and may be an important target for clinical intervention, although children self-reported less fatigue, better school functioning, and greater quality of life than did their caregivers.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models
TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

PedsQL 4.0: reliability and validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 generic core scales in healthy and patient populations.
TL;DR: The PedsQL distinguished between healthy children and pediatric patients with acute or chronic health conditions, was related to indicators of morbidity and illness burden, and displayed a factor-derived solution largely consistent with the a priori conceptually-derived scales.
