比较了309名8至20岁的儿童癌症幸存者及其父母与健康儿童及其父母对儿童相关压力源的反应。并分析儿童人口学、癌症及治疗、家庭及社会支持因素与创伤后应激症状的关系。结果表明，儿童癌症幸存者的母亲和父亲表现出显着更高水平的创伤后应激症状比对照父母。幸存者本身与健康的幸存者没有什么不同。过去感知的生命威胁和家庭和社会支持资源有助于幸存者及其父母的创伤后应激症状。幸存者的母亲和孩子和幸存者的父亲和孩子的症状相关的影响幸存者的家庭的长期功能和预防性干预措施的建议进行了讨论。
Compared posttraumatic stress symptoms in 309 8- to 20-year-old survivors of childhood cancer and their parents with healthy children and their parents who responded to child-related stressors. The relationship of child demographic, cancer and treatment, and family and social support factors with posttraumatic stress symptoms was analyzed also. Results indicate that mothers and fathers of childhood cancer survivors showed significantly higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms than comparison parents. The survivors themselves did not differ from their healthy counterparts. Past perceived life threat and family and social support resources contributed to posttraumatic stress symptoms in survivors and their parents. Survivor mother and child and survivor father and child symptoms were associated Implications for the long-term functioning of families of survivors and suggestions for preventive interventions are discussed.
