Compare the content, future orientation, and appraisals of self-identified goals of adolescents with cancer and control subjects. Identify correlates of health-related and future-oriented goals of adolescents with cancer.
Adolescents with cancer (n = 102) and control subjects (n = 97) self-identified goals, rated appraisals of goals, and completed psychosocial measures.
Adolescents with cancer identified fewer goals, were more likely to identify a health-related goal, less likely to identify an intrapersonal or leisure goal, and rated their goals as more achievable and supported compared with control subjects. For adolescents with cancer, female gender predicted having a health-related goal. Additionally, age and parent-reported adolescent quality of life predicted having a future-oriented goal. 63 percent of adolescents with cancer reported establishing at least one goal because of cancer.
Despite similarities between groups, evidence supports that adolescents with cancer made changes to their repertoire of goals, suggesting the need to balance various priorities.
比较癌症青少年和对照组青少年自我认同目标的内容、未来取向和评价。确定癌症青少年与健康相关和未来导向目标相关的因素。
102 名癌症青少年(病例组)和 97 名对照组青少年自我确定目标,对目标进行评价,并完成心理社会测量。
与对照组相比,癌症青少年确定的目标更少,更有可能确定与健康相关的目标,不太可能确定与个人或休闲相关的目标,并且他们对目标的评价是更可实现和更有支持的。对于癌症青少年,女性性别预测有一个与健康相关的目标。此外,年龄和父母报告的青少年生活质量预测有一个未来导向的目标。63%的癌症青少年报告说,因为癌症而确立了至少一个目标。
尽管两组之间存在相似之处,但有证据表明癌症青少年改变了他们的目标组合,这表明需要平衡各种优先事项。
