Posttraumatic stress symptom (PTSS) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) were surveyed in parents of childhood, adolescent and young adult patients with high-grade osteosarcoma.
A questionnaire survey was performed in parents of patients with osteosarcoma (51 families). The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) were employed for the evaluation of PTSS and PTG, respectively. The mean scores were compared with those in preceding studies employing the same scales. In addition, the correlation between the IES-R and PTGI scores was investigated in the parents.
Fifty-eight subjects of 34 families (30 fathers and 28 mothers) replied to the questionnaire. The mean IES-R score in the parents was 18.5, which was higher than that in patients with osteosarcoma (9.7) in our previous study. The mean PTGI score in the parents was 44.9, which was higher than that in university students (33.9) reported by Taku et al. A positive correlation was noted between the IES-R and PTGI scores in the parents.
The PTSS level tended to be higher in the parents rather than in patients with osteosarcoma. The PTG level increased as the PTSS level rose in the parents.
本研究调查了儿童、青少年和青年骨肉瘤患者父母的创伤后应激症状（PTSS）和创伤后成长（PTG）。
对骨肉瘤患者的父母（51 个家庭）进行问卷调查。采用修订后的事件影响量表（IES-R）和创伤后成长量表（PTGI）分别评估 PTSS 和 PTG。将平均得分与采用相同量表的先前研究进行比较。此外，还研究了父母的 IES-R 和 PTGI 评分之间的相关性。
34 个家庭中的 58 位受试者（30 位父亲和 28 位母亲）回答了问卷。父母的 IES-R 平均得分为 18.5，高于我们之前研究中骨肉瘤患者的得分（9.7）。父母的 PTGI 平均得分为 44.9，高于 Taku 等人报告的大学生（33.9）的得分。父母的 IES-R 和 PTGI 评分之间存在正相关。
父母的 PTSs 水平倾向于高于骨肉瘤患者。父母的 PTG 水平随着 PTSs 水平的升高而升高。
