The objective of this exploratory study was to evaluate the impact of advanced parental cancer on adolescents' psychological status. A sample of 28 adolescents, having a parent with advanced cancer, was recruited and compared with a sample from the general population (N = 2,346). Late adolescents (age 15 to 18) experienced significantly more psychological distress than early adolescents (age 12 to 14). Moreover, late adolescents experienced significantly higher psychological distress than the general population for the same age group, which was not the case for early adolescents. Implications for adolescents living in families touched by advanced cancer are discussed.
本探索性研究旨在评估晚期癌症对青少年心理状况的影响。研究招募了 28 名有晚期癌症父母的青少年，并与一般人群（N=2346）进行了比较。晚青春期（15 至 18 岁）的青少年比早青春期（12 至 14 岁）经历的心理困扰显著更多。此外，与同年龄组的一般人群相比，晚青春期的青少年经历了更高的心理困扰，而早青春期的青少年则不然。讨论了对受晚期癌症影响的家庭中的青少年的影响。
