Pediatr Rheumatol Online JPublished Mixed-method systematic review

Authors' conclusion

Despite evidence suggesting that a family approach is needed to support caregivers and CYP with rheumatological conditions as well as the wider family to improve health outcomes for the child, increase family functioning, reduce family conflict, and increase psycho-social well-being, only a small number of caregiver interventions have been carried out to date.
