Abstract :
[en] Introduction: Studies on worry and distress in parents of a childhood cancer survivor are less developed in the literature. The aim of the study was to examine the intensity of worry and its association with intolerance of uncertainty factor and anxiety–depressive symptoms. Methods: In total, 61 parents of a childhood cancer survivor (4–6 years of remission) participated in the study. Parents completed several questionnaires assessing worry, intolerance of uncertainty, and anxiety–depressive symptoms. Results: The majority of parents suffer from anxiety symptoms and intense worries about the health of their childhood cancer survivor. The factor of intolerance of uncertainty seems to contribute to explain the intensity of parental worries. Conclusion: Recommendations have been published concerning the management of parents of a childhood cancer survivor, but longitudinal studies focusing on the parent are still needed to improve prevention and management initiatives for these families.
