Rehabilitation in a rare case of coffin-siris syndrome with major cognitive and behavioural disorders

BACKGROUND: Coffin-Siris syndrome is a rare genetic disease with heterozygous variants in the ARID1A, ARID1B, ARID2, DPF2, SMARCA4, SMARCB1, SMARCE1 or SOX11 genes. It may manifest with somatic anomalies, deafness, urogenital malformations, recurrent infections, mental retardation, speech deficit, agenesis of the corpus callosum, convulsions, hypotonia, developmental delay, and scoliosis. CASE REPORT: A 14-year-old boy with Coffin-Siris syndrome due to variants in the ARID1A gene was referred to the clinic. His rehabilitation over a 9-year period was described. The problem of assessment and the approach to rehabilitation was discussed, enabling a progressive remodelling of the cognitive-behavioural disorders that most hindered the possibility of his acquiring new skills and achieving social and family integration. CLINICAL REHABILITATION: A protracted, customised, multiprofessional rehabilitation approach, centred on realistic functional objectives, implemented with the direct involvement of the family and school, was the only way to achieve the maximum independence and social and family integration permitted by his residual disability.

Measuring Family Members’ Experiences of Integrating Chronic Illness Into Family Life: Preliminary Validity and Reliability of the Family Integration Experience Scale:Chronic Illness (FIES:CI)

Measures of family members’ experiences of integrating chronic conditions (CC) or chronic illnesses (CI) into family life are needed to optimize family care. This article reports development and psychometric testing of the Family Integration Experience Scale: Chronic Illness (FIES:CI), a measure of family member perceptions of integrating CC or CI into evolving family life. Family Systems Nursing (FSN), the Reintegration Within Families in the Context of Chronic Illness Model, and measurement theory guided the study. Participants were those ( N = 328) managing a CC or CI. Concurrent validity ( r = +.629; p < .001) and discriminant validity, F(1, 155) = 7.09; p < .05, were demonstrated. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-dimensional model explaining 63.8% variance. Scale internal reliability was α = .70 and .785, and factor reliabilities were α = .798 (Factor 1) and α = .847 (Factor 2). Test–retest item and subscale correlations, while accounting for intra-family correlation, were acceptable. The FIES:CI contributes a valuable new measure of family integration in the context of CC or CI with preliminary validity and reliability as tested in these samples.
