We studied the psychosocial impact of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic on Dutch children with cancer in outpatient care and their caregivers (n = 799) using regular monitoring and screening outcomes. No differences were observed between the pre-COVID-19 and early-COVID-19 periods in health-related quality of life and fatigue of children. Fewer caregivers were distressed during the COVID-19 period than pre-COVID-19. In conclusion, the additional stress of COVID-19 did not deteriorate psychosocial functioning of children with cancer and their caregivers. Results may be explained by alleviating daily life changes, experience in coping with medical traumatic stress, and appropriate care and support.
我们通过定期监测和筛查结果,研究了新冠疫情初期对荷兰门诊护理中患癌症儿童及其照顾者(n = 799)的心理社会影响。在新冠疫情前和疫情初期,儿童的健康相关生活质量和疲劳程度没有差异。与新冠疫情前相比,疫情期间感到苦恼的照顾者较少。总之,新冠疫情带来的额外压力并未使癌症患儿及其照顾者的心理社会功能恶化。结果可能是由于日常生活变化得到缓解、应对医疗创伤压力的经验以及适当的护理和支持。
