“…In addition, parental distress was also associated with poor QoL of survivors (Huang et al, 2018; Vance et al, 2001). Two studies found no associations between parents’ perceived stress and child’s Qol (Irwanto et al, 2020; Jankowska-Polańska et al, 2020).…”

The present study is a systematic review of factors and consequences of parental distress following their children's acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) diagnosis. PubMed, Web of Science, and APA PsycInfo databases were searched. Twenty-eight papers were included, with only three longitudinal studies. Fifteen studies explored factors of parental distress, including sociodemographic, psychosocial, psychological, family, health, and ALL-specific variables. Correlations were found between social support, illness cognitions, coping strategies, and parental distress, as well as contradictory results regarding sociodemographic variables. Family cohesion and the overall impact of illness were associated with parental distress. Resilience factors contributed negatively to parental distress symptoms, and perceived caregiver strain and negative child's emotional functioning contributed positively. Thirteen papers explored the consequences of parental distress, including psychological, family, health, and social/education factors. Distress was correlated with care burden and contributed to family strain, child's symptom burden, and parental protective behavior. Significant correlations were found between parental distress, at diagnosis, and further adjustment of parents and children. Most papers reported correlations between parental distress and psychological condition and quality of life; few studies reported no association. Correlations between maternal depression and child's participation in education and social life were found. Differences on distress were found regarding parents' gender, age, children's group risk, and treatment phases. Longitudinal studies are needed to better understand the phenomenon and its consequences. Future interventions should address parents' mental health needs in an early and ongoing assessment in order to promote healthier outcomes.

Antecedentes: A nivel mundial, aproximadamente 400.000 niños y adolescentes son diagnosticados de cáncer. De esta cifra, 29.000 corresponden a Latinoamérica y el Caribe. El principal tipo de cáncer en este grupo etario es la leucemia, dejando atrás al cáncer de cerebro como el segundo en frecuencia. A pesar de que la ciencia ha ido incursionando para proporcionar una mayor supervivencia, la calidad de vida y las repercusiones psicológicas producidas por la enfermedad y el tratamiento han afectado considerablemente la estabilidad física y emocional en el paciente. Objetivo: Detallar las repercusiones emocionales y psicosociales en pacientes oncológicos en la etapa infanto-juvenil. Metodología: Estudio no experimental, de tipo descriptivo, de revisión bibliográfica. Se realizó una búsqueda de artículos de acuerdo con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión y que se encontraran en el periodo de tiempo entre los años 2017 a 2022. Resultados: La calidad de vida de los pacientes oncológicos se va a ver afectada por los efectos psicológicos y emocionales que se presenten en el diagnóstico y tratamiento. Estrés, ansiedad, depresión, cambios en la conducta y cognición son las principales repercusiones psicosociales. El entorno familiar sirve de apoyo para el paciente y su cuidador. Conclusiones: Tanto el paciente oncológico como su entorno familiar, experimentan repercusiones emocionales y psicosociales a causa del diagnóstico y enfermedad. Los programas de educación para cáncer en niños y adolescentes representan un factor de apoyo para sobrellevar la enfermedad.

“…Factors associated with worse HRQOL during treatment have been identified, e.g., being a mother (vs. father), more complex cancer diagnoses (e.g., brain tumours), treatment intensity and family functioning before diagnosis 3 . High levels of anxiety and depression of parents have been shown to correlate with significantly lower HRQOL of the child during treatment 4,5 . Parental well‐being strongly influences the well‐being of their children, stressing the importance of identifying and supporting parents in distress also for the sake of the child 6–8 …”

Quality of life in mothers and fathers of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in Sweden, Finland and Denmark

et al. 2022

Summary Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has a high survival rate, but treatment is lengthy with risk of severe side‐effects, which may also impact parents' health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). We present data on 526 parents of 310 children treated for ALL according to the NOPHO ALL2008‐protocol, in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Parents were asked to complete the 36‐Item Short Form Survey (SF‐36) at least 6 months after end of treatment and data were compared with Norwegian reference data. Parental background factors were collected via a study‐specific questionnaire. Participating parents scored significantly lower than the reference population on both physical and mental summary indexes, but only surpassed a minimal clinically important difference for the mental summary index (Mental Component Summary [MCS]). Mothers scored lower than fathers in the MCS and stopped working and took care of the affected child more often than the fathers. Higher mental HRQOL was associated with male gender and living in Finland or Denmark (compared to Sweden). Correlations within spouses in physical and mental scores were weak to moderate. In conclusion, ALL negatively affects parental HRQOL, especially the mental domains, even after treatment. Findings suggest that mothers are more affected than fathers and may require extra support.
