Abstract

Few would argue that parents experience intense and extreme distress when their children are being treated with cancer. Parents are present during upsetting procedures or treatments and struggle with their own anxiety and the disruption to their families. The journal of clinical oncology published an important study by Kazak et al that shows that 99% of parents of children under treatment for different type of cancer suffer from Posttraumatic stress Disorder (PTSD). Several factors may predict posttraumatic stress symptoms, including one's general level of distress (anxiety), parental resilience (benefits and attributions about the experience), and social support. Another important issue which has been reported by a study indicated that the intensity of the child's therapy does not effects parental PTSD, that time the diagnosis is only marginally related to PTSD, and that 83.8% of mothers and 75.5% of fathers of long-term childhood cancer survivors have PTSD. Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) such as intrusive thoughts, physiologic arousal, and avoidance have been document in mothers and fathers of childhood cancer survivors, which can be measured by some kind of scales. Results of our research show that most useful measurer which have been used with psychologists and researchers for scaling PTSD and PTSS were these 3 measurers: 1. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index(PTSD-RI): a20-item self-report measure with items paralleling the diagnostic criteria for PTSD.2. Impact of Events Scale–Revised (IES-R): a 22-item measurer which reflects the DSM-IV cluster criteria for PTSD. 3. Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID): This interview includes items assessing each of the DSM-IV Diagnostic criteria for PTSD, plus current and lifetime (here defined as since cancer diagnosis) PTSD. Most of researches indicate that PTSD and PTSS are common among parents of children currently undergoing cancer treatment. Trauma informed psychological interventions can be used to help parents and families and it may be hypothesized that such supports empowers the parents positive cognitive functioning, which seems to be the best early protective factor against later PTSD symptoms. We suggest that more research on the psychosocial childhood cancer should be in processed.
