TI  - Observational assessment of family functioning at mealtime in preschool children 
      with cystic fibrosis.
PG  - 215-24
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine functioning during a dinner meal in families of a child 
      with a chronic illness that requires dietary treatment recommendations, as 
      compared to families of a child without a chronic illness. METHODS: Ratings of 
      seven dimensions of family functioning on the McMaster Mealtime Family 
      Interaction Coding System (MICS) were obtained on 29 families of children with CF 
      and 29 families of children with no chronic illness, ages 2 to 6 years, during a 
      videotaped dinner meal at home. RESULTS: Ratings of families with a child with CF 
      were significantly lower than those for families of children without a chronic 
      illness on Overall Family Functioning and five of the six MICS dimensions: 
      Communication, Interpersonal Involvement, Affect Management, Behavior Control, 
      and Role Allocation and approached significance on the Task Accomplishment 
      dimension. The ratings of families of a child with CF were in the "clinically 
      significant" range on all subcales, including Task ACCOMPLISHMENT. CONCLUSIONS: 
      This study suggests that family functioning at mealtimes may be different in 
      families of children with CF in which explicit dietary guidelines exist than in 
      families of children with no illness or dietary guidelines. These results are 
      discussed in terms of global family functioning and treatment approaches to 
      dietary treatment recommendations.
