OBJECTIVES
To examine depressive symptoms in children treated for a brain tumor and related clinical, demographic and personal factors.
METHODS
Fifty-four children with brain tumors (32 males) aged 8.2-18.3 years participated. Standardized measures assessed depressive symptoms, social skills, self-worth and IQ. Clinical (treatment) and demographic variables (gender) were also examined.
RESULTS
Depression scores were subjected to a 2 (gender), X 2 (social skills: low, high), X 3 (self-worth: low, average, high) ANCOVA with IQ as the covariate. Significant main effects of gender and of self-worth and an interaction between gender, social skills, and self-worth were observed. Gender was identified as a moderator of the effect of social skills and self-worth on depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
Gender, social skills, and self-worth play important roles in the depressive symptoms of pediatric brain tumor patients.
目的
研究接受脑肿瘤治疗的儿童的抑郁症状以及相关的临床、人口统计学和个人因素。
方法
54名年龄在8.2至18.3岁之间的患有脑肿瘤的儿童（32名男性）参与了研究。采用标准化测量方法评估抑郁症状、社交技能、自我价值感和智商。同时也考察了临床（治疗）和人口统计学变量（性别）。
结果
以智商作为协变量，对抑郁得分进行2（性别）×2（社交技能：低、高）×3（自我价值感：低、中等、高）的协方差分析。观察到性别和自我价值感的显著主效应以及性别、社交技能和自我价值感之间的交互作用。性别被确定为社交技能和自我价值感对抑郁症状影响的调节因素。
结论
性别、社交技能和自我价值感在小儿脑肿瘤患者的抑郁症状中起着重要作用。
