Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine mothers' perceptions of discrimination experienced by chronically ill school-age children. Discrimination was seen to originate within the school system, peer group, and community and governing institutions. Several demographic and child factors were found to significantly predict mothers' perceptions of discrimination. Nursing implications addressing discrimination for chronically ill children and families are addressed.
