AB Coping strategies and communication of three groups of 20 preschool
children and their parents were compared. One group was composed of
children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who
displayed clinical symptoms of the disease; the second group was
composed of children diagnosed with cancer; and the third group was
composed of healthy children. Results indicated that the parents of
children with life-threatening illnesses reported greater degrees of
wishful thinking than did control subjects. Furthermore, parents of
children with HIV reported more wishful thinking than did parents of
children with cancer. Finally, significantly more children with cancer
were aware of their diagnosis than were children with HIV. The findings
in this study suggest coping and communication difficulties for parents
and children with HIV.
