Positive consequences of childhood cancer: parent–child connections

Original language description

Surviving treatment of malignancies in childhood is associated withpositive as well as negative consequences. Parent–child relationshipsplay a substantial role in overall adaptation of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and may model positive reactions to trauma in children. This study aims to analyse parent–child connections in perceiving positive consequences of childhood cancer. Benefit finding (BF) in 92 CCS (47 girls, age 12–25) was assessed by survivors themselves and by 78 of their parents. Parents also completed measure of their own posttraumatic growth (PTG). The study analyses sex, age and late effects related differences in BF in CCS aswell as connections of parent and child BF and PTG. BF in CCS was significantly higher in older age group (age 18–25,t = 2.096; p < 0.05). Sex and late effects related differences were not significant. Finding how much is one loved by his/her family was themost frequently reported benefit regardless of sex or age. BF in CCS perceived by survivors was correlated to BF in CCS perceived by parents (r = 0,229; p < 0.05) but not to PTG in parents. BF in CCS perceived by parents was further correlated to PTG in parents (r = 0.412; p < 0.001).Self-reported BF in CCS is not connected to PTG in their parents. Parents' perception of BF in their child is more strongly connected to theirown PTG than to selfreported BF in their child.
