Human figure drawings of 12 pediatric oncology patients were significantly smaller in height, width, and area than were drawings of 12 school children and 12 pediatric general surgery patients paired for sex and age. The Goodenough-Harris scores of the cancer patients' drawings were also significantly lower than those of both school and general surgery groups. It is hypothesized that anxiety, lowered self-esteem, and the effects of chemotherapy contributed to these findings.
12名儿科肿瘤患者的人体图画在高度、宽度和面积上显著小于12名配对了性别和年龄的学童及12名儿科普通外科患者的图画。癌症患者图画的古德伊纳夫-哈里斯得分也显著低于学童组和普通外科组。据推测,焦虑、自尊降低以及化疗的影响导致了这些结果。
