Sammanfattning
Young people with chronic conditions have the same need to socialize and experiment with different lifestyles as their peers do, for developmental needs and good quality of life. Treating adolescents with chronic conditions requires knowledge of bio-psycho-social development. Developmental needs have an effect on the chronic condition and the opposite is also true. The treatment of young people with chronic conditions needs to take into consideration the developmental stage parallel to a disease-specific understanding. Compliance during adolescence depends on the young person, the context in which s/he is living, age adapted communication and being treated with respect by caregivers.
