But not all children are alike vulnerable to this stressful event. Thus, knowledge of risk and protective factors is required to design specific diagnostic tools and interventions for this vulnerable population. This study aims to provide a review and methodological evaluation of current studies examining factors associated with children's psychosocial adjustment when a parent has cancer. METHODS Four databases were systematically searched for quantitative research articles examining associative factors of children's adjustment. Study characteristics were analyzed and methodological quality was assessed by two independent reviewers. RESULTS 28 studies examining associative factors in 2896 families were identified. The included studies used a broad range of instruments assessing children's adjustment. Most patients were female breast cancer patients with middle to high socio-economic status. The majority of included studies used correlational approaches and cross-sectional designs. None of the studies examined toddlers or assessed children's quality of life. Across studies with low to high quality, we found no evidence of illness-related factors, except worse disease status that was related to lower adjustment. Evidence from moderate to high quality studies suggest that better family functioning indicates better adjustment, whereas parent's depressive mood indicates worse adjustment of the children. Child-related factors were inconsistent. CONCLUSION Health professionals should pay attention to cancer patients' dependent children. In order to identify this at-risk population, parent's depressive mood and poor family functioning should be considered. Future studies should also assess children's quality of life and child-related factors.}, subject = {Adaptation}, language = {en} } @article{KuehneKrattenmacherBergeltetal.2012, author = {K{\"u}hne, Franziska and Krattenmacher, Thomas and Bergelt, Corinna and Ernst, Johanna C. and Flechtner, Hans-Henning and F{\"u}hrer, Daniel and Herzog, Wolfgang and Klitzing, Kai V. and Romer, Georg and M{\"o}ller, Birgit}, title = {Parental palliative cancer: psychosocial adjustment and health-related quality of life in adolescents participating in a German family counselling service}, series = {BMC palliative care}, volume = {11}, journal = {BMC palliative care}, doi = {10.1186/1472-684X-11-21}, pages = {21}, year = {2012}, abstract = {UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Parental palliative disease is a family affair, however adolescent's well-being and coping are still rarely considered. The objectives of this paper were a) to identify differences in psychosocial adjustment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among adolescents and young adults with parents suffering from palliative cancer or cancers in other disease stages, b) to relate psychosocial adjustment and health-related quality of life to adolescent coping, and c) to explore significant mediator and predictor variables. METHODS Cross-sectional data were derived from a multi-site research study of families before child-centered counselling. N=86 adolescents and young adults were included, their mean age 13.78 years (sd 2.45), 56\% being female. Performed analyses included ANCOVA, multiple linear regression, and mediation analysis. RESULTS Adolescents with parents suffering from palliative cancers reported significantly less total psychosocial problems, and better overall HRQoL. There were no significant group differences regarding coping frequency and efficacy. Our set of coping items significantly mediated the effect of parental disease stage on psychosocial problems and HRQoL. Further, parental disease status and general family functioning predicted psychosocial problems (R2adj =.390) and HRQoL (R2adj =.239) best. CONCLUSION The study indicates distress among adolescents throughout the entire parental disease process. Our analysis suggests that counselling services could offer supportive interventions which focus particularly on adolescent coping as well as family functioning.}, language = {en} } @article{KlintwallWestrinTalmeetal.2012, author = {Klintwall, Lars and Westrin, Johanna and Talme, Laura and R{\"o}ttgers, Hanns R{\"u}diger and Eikeseth, Svein}, title = {Treating Children like Dogs: Teachers Opinions Regarding the Ethics of EIBI}, series = {Abstractband der 6th Conference of the European Association for Behaviour Analysis, Lissabon, September 2012}, journal = {Abstractband der 6th Conference of the European Association for Behaviour Analysis, Lissabon, September 2012}, year = {2012}, language = {en} }
