The study aimed to explore the adjustment of Jewish and Arab mothers of children diagnosed with cancer.
Ninety-seven Jewish and 100 Arab mothers completed questionnaires assessing mastery, social support, and adjustment (psychological distress, quality of life, and future fears and hopes).
Arab mothers were higher than Jewish mothers on distress and lower on social support and future hopes). Mastery and social support contributed independently to adjustment indices. Ethnicity moderated the effects of mastery and social support on adjustment.
Ethnicity, mastery, and social support are important factors in mothers' adjustment to their child's cancer.
本研究旨在探讨被诊断患有癌症儿童的犹太和阿拉伯母亲的适应情况。
97名犹太母亲和100名阿拉伯母亲完成了问卷调查，评估掌控感、社会支持和适应情况（心理困扰、生活质量以及未来的恐惧和希望）。
阿拉伯母亲在困扰方面高于犹太母亲，在社会支持和未来希望方面低于犹太母亲。掌控感和社会支持分别对适应指标有影响。种族对掌控感和社会支持对适应的影响起调节作用。
种族、掌控感和社会支持是母亲适应孩子患癌症情况的重要因素。
