  abstract  = {The presence of cancer and additional parental responsibilities can increase strain for individual patients as well as for their children. The construct of health-related quality of life (HRQL) is appropriate to measure a combination of physical, mental and social consequences as a result of disease. However, previous research has merely focused on symptom checklists. This study addresses the following questions: (i) does HRQL in children and their parents with cancer differ compared to the general population? (ii) Are there any variables that are associated with HRQL in children? (iii) What are current psychosocial support needs? A population-based survey of 976 survivors (<6 years post diagnosis) with minor children between 6 and 18 years (n = 1,449) was conducted with two German cancer registries. HRQL was assessed using SF-8 (survivors) and Kidscreen (children). The results were compared to normative populations, and predictors associated with HRQL in children were evaluated within a multilevel model. We found that the HRQL in children was better compared to the norm. Only children with support needs had worse HRQL. Older age, having a mother with cancer, having a parent not living together with a partner, and worse parental physical and mental health influenced HRQL in children. Illness characteristics were irrelevant. Even with a mean of 3.5 years after diagnosis, survivors had lower physical and mental health compared to the norm. Our findings reinforce the need for health professionals to pay attention to younger patients and their children. Even years after diagnosis, life might not have returned to normal.},

  abstract  = {Irrespective of their well-known increased risk for mental health problems, children of somatically ill parents are a clinically underserved as well as under-researched group. In this article, the authors introduce the epidemiologic and clinical relevance of this topic and present a theoretical framework for understanding the sequelae of a serious parental illness on minor-age children, based on family dynamics and developmental concepts. This is followed by a comprehensive review of current empirical studies in this field, with a special emphasis on results from a transnational European collaborative study (COSIP = Children of Somatically Ill Parents), which was coordinated by the last author. The most important recommendations from intervention concepts published to date are summarized. Some outlooks for clinical practice as well as future research are presented.},

  abstract  = {Mental Stress and Health-Related Quality of Life in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria Although the level of mental stress in adolescents with gender dysphoria is found to be generally high in many studies, differences have been shown between samples of gender dysphoria clinics for adolescents in different countries. However, a comparison within the German speaking area is lacking. In this article we compared samples of gender dysphoria clinics from Munster (Germany) and Zurich (Switzerland) and tested potential correlates of mental stress using quantitative methods. Subsequently, we interviewed clients from both clinics regarding mental stressors and protective factors. There were no quantitative differences in the level of mental stress of clients between Munster and Zurich, whereas health-related quality of life was significantly higher in Munster. Problems in physical well-being and school environment were the strongest correlates of mental stress. This reflects in the interviews, too, in addition to further related factors reported. We conclude that physical well-being and inclusion at school should be addressed with special emphasis in counseling or treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria to counter the in average high levels of mental stress. Zusammenfassung Das Ausmaß psychischer Auff{\"a}lligkeiten bei Jugendlichen mit Geschlechtsdysphorie wird in vielen Studien als hoch beschrieben, unterscheidet sich jedoch in den Inanspruchnahmepopulationen verschiedener Spezialambulanzen f{\"u}r Jugendliche mit Geschlechtsdysphorie. Bislang hat kein Vergleich innerhalb des deutschsprachigen Raums stattgefunden. In diesem Beitrag werden die Inanspruchnahmestichproben der Spezialzentren in M{\"u}nster und Z{\"u}rich mit quantitativen Methoden verglichen sowie Korrelate von psychischen Auff{\"a}lligkeiten gepr{\"u}ft. Anschließend f{\"u}hrten wir Interviews mit Klient/innen1 der Spezialambulanzen hinsichtlich psychischer Belastungen und Schutzfaktoren durch. Es zeigten sich im quantitativen Vergleich der Zentren keine Unterschiede in den psychischen Auff{\"a}lligkeiten zwischen M{\"u}nster und Z{\"u}rich, w{\"a}hrend sich die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualit{\"a}t in M{\"u}nster als signifikant h{\"o}her erwies als in Z{\"u}rich. Als st{\"a}rkste Korrelate psychischer Belastung konnten Probleme im k{\"o}rperlichen Wohlbefinden sowie im schulischen Umfeld identifiziert werden. Dies spiegelte sich auch in den qualitativen Interviews wider, in denen weitere assoziierte Faktoren benannt wurden. Wir schlussfolgern, dass das k{\"o}rperliche Wohlbefinden und die schulische Integration in der Beratung bzw. Behandlung von Jugendlichen mit Geschlechtsdysphorie besonders ber{\"u}cksichtigt werden sollten, um der im Schnitt hohen psychischen Auff{\"a}lligkeiten entgegenzuwirken.},
