Abstract		The number of chronically ill children is increasing and these children were found to have more psyhological problems than their healthy peers. Some of the diseases and disorders can affect child's selfimage (his body image, selfesteem, perception of the cause of the disease) his emotional development and development of interrelationship. Also parents and other members of the family can be affected and influence child's development as well. This is also the reason why a professional approach is necessary for such conditions: besides appropriate treatment help is needed on the social and emotional ground as well as help for the parents to cope with their child's disease and possible worsenings. Such an approach can be only obtained by a good team work.

Za kvaliteto življenja otrok s kroničnimi boleznimi je zato pomemben pravilen strokovni pristop. Poleg ustreznega zdravljenja bolezni je potrebna na eni strani pomoč otroku pri ustreznem pridobivanju spretnosti in znanj, na čustvenem in socialnem področju in na drugi strani pomoč staršem, da se soočijo z otrokovo boleznijo in pomoč ob vsakokratnih krizah. Zato je priporočljiva timska obravnava, v katero so poleg zdravnikov vključeni tudi drugi strokovnjaki po potrebi /psiholog, socialni dela- vec, pedagog ...
