简要总结
Overall Objective:
The overall objective of this cross-sectional psychosocial study is to examine illness-related factors, family context factors, and child resiliency as predictors or correlates of child adjustment to leukemia treatment.
Primary Objective 1:
1(a): To examine illness-related factors (i.e., child's health and physical functioning and severity of the child's illness) as predictors of child psychological adjustment to leukemia.
1(b): To examine relapse status as a grouping variable affecting child psychological adjustment to leukemia.
1(c): To examine stage of treatment as a grouping variable affecting child psychological adjustment to leukemia.
Primary Objective 2:
-To examine family context factors (i.e., family psychosocial risk and parental emotional distress) as correlates of child psychosocial adjustment to leukemia treatment.
Primary Objective 3:
-To examine child resiliency as a predictor of child psychological adjustment to leukemia treatment.
Secondary Objectives:
- One secondary objective of the study is to examine parental distress as a moderator affecting parental report of child adjustment to leukemia as compared to the child's self-report of adjustment.
- Another secondary objective of the study is to develop a model by which the relative contribution of each predictor variable (as determined by analyses of primary objectives) as well as their interrelatedness can be understood in relation to child psychosocial adjustment.
- A third secondary objective of the study is to examine demographic variables as covariates in the main analyses. These variables include: age, grade, site, gender, ethnicity, type of leukemia, staging, time spent in treatment, age at diagnosis, and whether the child is undergoing standard or experimental treatment.
详细描述
Parental Consent/Child Assent for Child Participants:
If you choose to take part in this study, you will be asked to complete a total of 2 or 3 questionnaires (depending on your age). Each questionnaire will be completed only once.
If you are between 6-7 years old, you will be given 2 questionnaires asking you about your physical health and illness, and your personal strengths. These questionnaires will take you about 30-45 minutes to finish. If you are between 8-18 years old, you will be given 3 questionnaires that will ask you about your physical health and illness, your personal strengths, and your emotional adjustment to the disease. These 3 questionnaires will take you about 30-45 minutes in total to finish. A research assistant will help you with the questionnaires, if you need help.
If you are given the questionnaires while you are at the hospital and you cannot complete them before you leave, you will be given a stamped envelope to mail the forms back to the study staff.
After your questionnaires are finished, a member of the research team might look at your medical chart if they need more information about your treatment or the status of the disease.
