[What is helpful for kids with headache?--Qualitative analysis of systemic family interviews at the end of a solution and resource oriented group therapy for children and adolescents with primary headache].
Over the last few years, the prevalence rate of primary headache in childhood has increased significantly. Children suffering from headache can find a way to live without or with as few headache as possible by taking advantage of their individual resources. Headache afflicting children can be a considerable burden for the children's families and their social environment. Vice versa, these social systems also have a decisive influence on the child's suffering. The study submitted deals with the question which resources--concerning the treatment of headache--children, adolescents and their families were able to discover and/or further develop in the context of a resource-oriented and solution-oriented outpatient group and family treatment program, and which coping strategies they found to be especially helpful. For this purpose, systematic family interviews of n=39 families were evaluated. Dealing with headache, the notion of independence plays a decisive role--both for children and their parents.
