Because psychological and psychiatric assessments of childhood cancer survivors have revealed a high rate of psychiatric sequelae, the authors investigated the relationship between the degree of physical unpairment resulting from cancer treatment and the psychosocial adjustment problems of survivors. Ratings of physical impairment were based on the visibility of physical residua as well as the functional limitations they imposed. The results indicated that the psychosocial adjustment of survivors is not significantly related to the severity of physical impairment.
由于对儿童癌症幸存者的心理和精神评估显示出较高的精神后遗症发生率，作者调查了癌症治疗导致的身体损伤程度与幸存者心理社会适应问题之间的关系。身体损伤评级基于身体残留的可见性以及它们所造成的功能限制。结果表明，幸存者的心理社会适应与身体损伤的严重程度没有显著关系。
