We investigated the relationship between parents' empathic responses prior to their children undergoing cancer treatment procedures and children's pain/distress during the procedures. We hypothesized: (1) parents' empathic distress would be positively associated with children's pain/distress, (2) parents' empathic concern would be negatively associated with children's pain/distress; and (3) parents' enduring dispositions and social support would be associated with their empathic responses. Parents completed: (1) measures of dispositions and perceived social support several weeks before their children underwent the procedures, and (2) state measures of empathic distress and empathic concern just before the procedures. Empathic distress was positively associated with children's pain; empathic concern was negatively associated with children's pain/distress. Predictions about dispositions and social support were also substantially confirmed.
我们研究了孩子接受癌症治疗程序之前父母的共情反应与孩子在治疗程序中的疼痛/痛苦之间的关系。我们假设：（1）父母的共情痛苦与孩子的疼痛/痛苦呈正相关，（2）父母的共情关注与孩子的疼痛/痛苦呈负相关；以及（3）父母的持久性格和社会支持会与其共情反应相关。父母完成了：（1）在孩子接受治疗程序前几周进行的性格和感知社会支持的测量，以及（2）就在治疗程序前进行的共情痛苦和共情关注的状态测量。共情痛苦与孩子的疼痛呈正相关；共情关注与孩子的疼痛/痛苦呈负相关。关于性格和社会支持的预测也得到了充分证实。
