To address gaps in understanding disparities of posttraumatic growth among childhood cancer survivors, the aims of this study were to (1) compare satisfaction, resilience, and achievement among Hispanic and non-Hispanic White survivors; and (2) examine relationships between sociodemographic and clinical factors with satisfaction, resilience, and achievement.
Survivors (N = 116) at Children's Hospital of Orange County After Cancer Treatment Survivorship Program completed the Child Health and Illness Profile-Adolescent Edition.
Resilience (p = .003) and achievement (p = .005) were lower among Hispanic survivors. Resilience was positively associated with satisfaction (p < .01) and achievement (p < .01) and achievement was positively associated with years of schooling (p < .01). No differences were found between Hispanic and non-Hispanic White satisfaction scores (p = .95).
Our findings suggest ethnic disparities in posttraumatic growth in childhood cancer survivors. Interventions aimed at promoting posttraumatic growth are vital to address these differences.
为了解决儿童癌症幸存者创伤后成长差异理解方面的差距，本研究旨在：(1)比较西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白种幸存者的满意度、适应力和成就；(2)探讨社会人口统计学和临床因素与满意度、适应力和成就之间的关系。
在橙县儿童医院癌症治疗后生存计划中，幸存者(n=116)完成了儿童健康和疾病概况-青少年版。
西班牙裔幸存者的适应力(p=0.003)和成就(p=0.005)较低。适应力与满意度呈正相关(p<0.01)，与成就呈正相关(p<0.01)，成就与受教育年限呈正相关(p<0.01)。西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白种人之间的满意度评分无差异(p=0.95)。
我们的研究结果表明，儿童癌症幸存者的创伤后成长存在种族差异。旨在促进创伤后成长的干预措施对于解决这些差异至关重要。
