We examined adjustment to school of children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and the psychological condition of their mothers; 30 children on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), 35 children with a transplant and 33 healthy children were studied. A factorial ANOVA statistic found that the mean scores for non-academic problems (psychological factors) differed significantly across the three groups, being highest in CAPD children and lowest in healthy children. No significant differences between CAPD and transplant children were found for school maladjustment with academic problems, although the prevalence differed significantly across the groups, being highest in transplant children and lowest in healthy children. The mothers of children with ESRD were prone to feel various anxieties and dependency.
