title: Helping children cope: chronic renal failure.
abstract: Chronic renal failure places many restrictions on children. Children's nurses need to assist the child with chronic renal failure in achieving as normal a life as possible. Purssell's model of normalisation provides a useful framework to identify strategies to help children cope. The need for further research in this area is established.
