Compared 56 children between the ages of 5 and 12 years to a sample of healthy controls. All cancer patients had been treated between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Children completed the Self-Perception Profile for children and questionnaires assessing social adjustment. Parent and teacher ratings were also obtained. The cancer patients reported greater feelings of isolation than the controls but otherwise few differences were noted. There were few differences between cancer patients and controls in the teacher and parent report. Results are discussed in terms of the need to investigate behavioral sequelae of childhood illness and directions for future research.
将56名5至12岁的儿童与一组健康对照组进行比较。所有癌症患者在2至5岁之间接受过治疗。儿童完成了儿童自我认知量表以及评估社会适应情况的问卷。还获得了家长和教师的评分。癌症患者报告的孤独感比对照组更强，但在其他方面几乎没有差异。在教师和家长的报告中，癌症患者和对照组之间几乎没有差异。根据对儿童疾病行为后遗症进行调查的必要性以及未来研究的方向对结果进行了讨论。
