Both, children of somatically ill parents and children of single-mothers are at risk to develop mental health problems and low QoL. This study investigates the effect on children when their single-mothers are exposed to cancer.
In a Cross-sectional design a sample of N=47 children of single-mothers exposed to parental cancer was compared to a sample of N=135 children of mothers (living in partnership) exposed to cancer (multi informant approach).
SDQ and KIDSCREEN showed no differences between children of single-mothers and children of mothers in partnership. In the focused sample older children (11-17 years) showed more conduct problems than younger children (4-10 years). The differences between the types of assessment was significant for conduct problems.
Single-parenting and parental cancer as a double burden don't increase the risk for mental health problems and low QoL of children. The results for conduct problems will be discussed.
身患躯体疾病的父母的子女以及单亲母亲的子女都有出现心理健康问题和生活质量低下的风险。本研究调查单亲母亲患癌症时对其子女的影响。
采用横断面设计,将N = 47名单亲母亲患癌子女的样本与N = 135名母亲(处于伴侣关系)患癌子女的样本进行比较(多信息源方法)。
优势与困难问卷(SDQ)和儿童生活质量量表(KIDSCREEN)显示,单亲母亲的子女与处于伴侣关系的母亲的子女之间没有差异。在重点样本中,年龄较大的儿童(11 - 17岁)比年龄较小的儿童(4 - 10岁)表现出更多的行为问题。行为问题在评估类型之间的差异显著。
单亲育儿和父母患癌这一双重负担并不会增加儿童出现心理健康问题和生活质量低下的风险。将对行为问题的结果进行讨论。
