To examine the relationship of self-reported parental overprotection, perceived child vulnerability, and parenting stress to parent-reported behavioral, emotional, and social adjustment of children currently on treatment for cancer.
Parents of 62 children (34 boys, 28 girls) currently on treatment for cancer were recruited from an outpatient pediatric cancer clinic. Children ranged in age from 2 to 12 years; age at diagnosis ranged from 1.33 to 11.83 years.
Higher levels of parenting stress, but not parental overprotection or perceived child vulnerability, were associated with poorer behavioral and social adjustment. Higher levels of perceived child vulnerability and parenting stress, but not parental overprotection, were independently associated with poorer emotional adjustment.
Specific parenting variables appear to be related to specific adjustment outcomes in children with cancer. Longitudinal follow-up of these children is necessary to determine the developmental trajectory of parent variables and long-term child outcomes.
探讨自我报告的父母过度保护、感知到的儿童易感性以及养育压力与父母报告的正在接受癌症治疗儿童的行为、情绪和社会适应之间的关系。
从一家儿科癌症门诊招募了62名正在接受癌症治疗的儿童(34名男孩,28名女孩)的父母。儿童年龄在2至12岁之间;诊断时的年龄在1.33至11.83岁之间。
较高水平的养育压力,而非父母过度保护或感知到的儿童易感性,与较差的行为和社会适应相关。较高水平的感知到的儿童易感性和养育压力,而非父母过度保护,与较差的情绪适应独立相关。
特定的养育变量似乎与癌症儿童的特定适应结果相关。对这些儿童进行纵向随访对于确定父母变量的发展轨迹和儿童的长期结果是必要的。
