This theoretical article aims to summarize the results of studies relevant to parental influence on coping with childhood cancer and provide implications for future research focused on parent-child connections in posttraumatic growth (PTG) following childhood cancer. Parental influence on child coping described by the socialization of coping and socialization of emotions theories has already been studied in connection with posttraumatic stress, but the role of parents in the process of PTG in the child has not been clearly described yet. Several studies focused on PTG in childhood cancer survivors and their parents simultaneously, but only two studies explicitly included a parent-child connection in PTG in statistical analysis. Studies suggest that child PTG may be facilitated through parental coping advice supporting emotion expression and that parent-child connection in PTG may be mediated by the child's subjective perception of the parents' PTG. More research is needed to describe specific strategies proposed by parents and leading to child PTG and design tailored interventions for the use in the clinical care of childhood cancer survivors and their family.
这篇理论文章旨在总结与父母对儿童癌症应对的影响相关的研究结果，并为未来聚焦于儿童癌症后创伤后成长（PTG）中亲子关系的研究提供启示。应对社会化和情绪社会化理论所描述的父母对儿童应对的影响，已在与创伤后应激相关的研究中有所涉及，但父母在儿童PTG过程中的作用尚未得到明确描述。有几项研究同时关注儿童癌症幸存者及其父母的PTG，但只有两项研究在统计分析中明确纳入了PTG中的亲子关系。研究表明，通过支持情绪表达的父母应对建议，可能会促进儿童的PTG，并且PTG中的亲子关系可能由儿童对父母PTG的主观认知所介导。需要更多研究来描述父母提出的、导致儿童PTG的具体策略，并设计针对性的干预措施，用于儿童癌症幸存者及其家庭的临床护理。
