To examine the influence of age, gender and diagnosis upon agreement of children's psychological status between children with cancer and their parents.
Total 51 families (49 mothers, 45 fathers and 51 children) completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Children's ages ranged from 11 to 16 years, with a mean age of 13.4 years. Eleven of the children had central nervous system (CNS) disease.
Age, gender and diagnosis did not impact upon level of agreement between parents and children. There were no significant differences between father/child and mother/child reports of children's psychological status.
Both mothers and fathers are perceptive to their child's psychological status, and it is therefore satisfactory to consider their opinions about their children. Children in the age range 11-16 years are able to express their views with as much accuracy as parents irrespective of their gender and diagnosis and so should be included in assessment.
探讨年龄、性别和诊断对癌症患儿与其父母之间儿童心理状态一致性的影响。
共有51个家庭（49位母亲、45位父亲和51名儿童）完成了优势与困难问卷。儿童年龄在11至16岁之间，平均年龄为13.4岁。其中11名儿童患有中枢神经系统（CNS）疾病。
年龄、性别和诊断对父母与儿童之间的一致性水平没有影响。父亲/儿童和母亲/儿童对儿童心理状态的报告之间没有显著差异。
母亲和父亲都能敏锐地感知孩子的心理状态，因此考虑他们对孩子的看法是令人满意的。11至16岁的儿童无论性别和诊断如何，都能够与父母一样准确地表达自己的观点，因此应纳入评估。
