Abstract

This study of 124 parents of children diagnosed with cancer investigates parents' perceptions of their role in the illness situation. The study found that mothers and fathers differ in their experience of and response to parenting a child with cancer. These differences appear to reflect traditional parenting roles characterized by a gender-based division of labor. Sex-role socialization theory is discussed as an explanatory model of the parenting experience. Practice recommendations are offered to medical social workers and other health care professionals concerned about the long term psychosocial adjustment of parents with chronically ill children.

摘要

这项针对124名被诊断患有癌症儿童的家长的研究，调查了家长们对自己在患病情形中角色的认知。研究发现，母亲和父亲在养育患癌子女的经历和反应上存在差异。这些差异似乎反映了以性别分工为特征的传统养育角色。性别角色社会化理论被作为养育经历的一种解释模型进行了讨论。针对关注慢性病患儿家长长期心理社会调适问题的医学社会工作者和其他医护专业人员，提供了实践建议。
