The aim of this article is to outline school psychologist’s interventions, which might be useful while supporting a chronically, somatically ill child in their re-entry to school, aiming at broadening their peers’ knowledge about the chronic disease and positively changing their attitudes towards the ill child. In the first part, the importance of peer relationships in childhood and adolescence, the relation of their quality to school absences and the positive role of school attendance in the process of adapta-tion to illness and recovery, are presented. Then, the arguments for school psychologist to become an agent of child’s positive school re-entry are provided. A framework of tasks to be performed by psy-chologist in the school setting is outlined. The second part focuses on the interventions which might be useful to meet expectations the environment has towards school psychologist in case of an ill child’s return to school. Among them, negative messages’ delivery, educational workshops design and deli-very, promoting self-advocacy of the child, preventing violence and supporting child’s siblings have been chosen as important areas of actions related to the child’s peers. A selection of suggestions how to deal with these diverse fields of activity has been outlined, basing on re-entry models, as well as on useful directions and interventions to prevent bullying and support children in developing psychoso-cial competences, which are discussed in research reports, metaanalyses and professional literature.

In the article, I emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the quality of life concept, which is used in many scientific disciplines. The approach to this issue depends largely on the perspective of the subject that is concerned with this problem. Quality of life changes with age, the level of self-awareness, and social roles and life tasks a person takes on. That is why I have sought to outline the determinants of quality of life and its dimensions. I stress the point that these issues are particularly important from the point of view of chronically ill children, as the development of illness may have a negative impact on their physical, mental, and social spheres. Moreover, the constantly increasing number of children with chronic diseases creates a need for a closer investigation into problems in their psychosocial functioning that are determined by their health condition. The article aims to present the issues of quality of life as well as illness and its impact on the quality of life of children with chronic diseases.

The work of a doctor of any specialty requires not only knowledge of a specific field of medicine, but also the ability to get to know other people and their problems and establish good contact with them. These skills become especially important when the patient is a child. Parents are essential partners in the treatment of young patients. It is up to the doctor whether he will be able to make contact with them, both to gather information about their well-being and to establish contact. Parents often struggle with feelings of helplessness and loneliness, as well as feelings of guilt. Parents’ ability to share with their doctor their hidden negative feelings and how they experience their child’s illness gives them a feeling of being supported and relieves tension. Conversation and support must be tailored to the specific family, which means that it is necessary to understand the situation and needs of family members and take into account their expectations. The aim of this article is to discuss the most basic issues related to the psychological aspects of providing medical care to a child and the functioning of a chronically psychosomatically ill child and its family.

Praca lekarza każdej specjalności wymaga nie tylko znajomości określonej dziedziny medycyny, lecz także umiejętności poznawania drugiego człowieka i jego problemów oraz nawiązywania z nim dobrego kontaktu. Umiejętności te nabierają szczególnego znaczenia w sytuacji, gdy pacjentem jest dziecko. W leczeniu małych pacjentów niezbędnymi partnerami są rodzice. Od lekarza zależy, czy będzie potrafił nawiązać z nimi kontakt, zarówno w celu zebrania informacji o samopoczuciu, jak i w celu nawiązania kontaktu. Rodzice często borykają się z poczuciem bezradności oraz samotności, a także z poczuciem winy. Możliwość podzielenia się przez rodziców z lekarzem ukrywanymi negatywnymi uczuciami i tym, jak przeżywają chorobę dziecka, daje im poczucie bycia wspieranym i łagodzi napięcie. Rozmowa i wsparcie muszą być dostosowane do konkretnej rodziny, co oznacza, że niezbędne jest rozeznanie sytuacji i potrzeb członków rodziny oraz wzięcie pod uwagę ich oczekiwań. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest omówienie najbardziej podstawowych zagadnień dotyczących psychologicznych aspektów sprawowania opieki medycznej nad dzieckiem oraz funkcjonowania dziecka przewlekle chorego psychosomatycznie, jak i jego rodziny.
