The Impact of Childhood Cancer on the Family

Overholser, James C., Fritz, Gregory K.·1990·Journal of Psychosocial Oncology

Abstract

Although a number of investigators have begun to examine the effects of childhood cancer on the family, the relationship between family adjustment and long-term psychosocial outcome is not well understood. The present study explored the relationship betwecn various facets of adaptation to cancer and psychosocial outcome variables asscssed in survivorhood. For 7- four children and their parents were asscssed two years after the children had completed treatment. Parental reactions to the child's illness were related to a variety of psychosocial variables. Most important, parental coping was associated with the long-term adjustment of both parents and child. Also, the amount of emotional distress that parents ex erienced was related to their ability to establish and maintain socially supportive ties with other people.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
