The Personality Inventory for Children (PIC) was administered to 88 children 3 to 16 years of age who had cancer. A variety of dimensions of psychological adjustment of these children, who were compared with a sample of nonsick children, was assessed. The PIC indicated that children with cancer exhibited cognitive development-related problems and internalized forms of psychopathology more often than their age- and sex-matched cohorts. In the cancer sample, no differences in problems as a function of diagnoses were observed when controlling for age of the child. No differences related to length of time since diagnosis were observed when controlling for age of the child. About 26% of the children with cancer exhibited PIC profiles indicating problems of such magnitude that professional intervention would be appropriate.
对88名3至16岁患癌症的儿童进行了儿童个性量表（PIC）测试。评估了这些儿童心理调适的多个维度，并与一组非患病儿童样本进行了比较。PIC表明，患癌症的儿童比年龄和性别匹配的同龄人更常出现与认知发展相关的问题和内化形式的精神病理学问题。在癌症样本中，控制儿童年龄后，未观察到问题因诊断而异。控制儿童年龄后，未观察到与确诊后时间长短相关的差异。约26%的患癌症儿童表现出PIC特征，表明问题严重到需要专业干预。
