Insights
Factors like effortful control and family environment significantly impact emotional and behavioral issues in preschool children with cancer. Understanding these influences is key for developing effective intervention strategies to support their rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Child Psychology
- Family Studies
Background:
- Preschool children with cancer face unique emotional and behavioral challenges.
- Identifying influencing factors is crucial for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- Investigate factors affecting emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children with cancer.
- Establish a scientific basis for predictive intervention strategies.
Main Methods:
- 375 preschool children with cancer recruited (March 2019-February 2020).
- Self-regulation shift theory as a framework.
- Structural equation modeling used for analysis.
Main Results:
- Effortful control, parent-child attachment, family environment, upbringing, marital quality, parental education, and social support significantly influenced child outcomes.
- Effortful control and parent-child attachment mediated family-related factors' impact.
Conclusions:
- Several key factors identified for children's emotional and behavioral well-being.
- Findings inform the development of predictive intervention strategies for cancer patients.
- Recommendations include improving parental education and support systems.
Objective:
The objective is to investigate the factors influencing emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children with cancer and to provide a scientific basis for developing predictive intervention strategies.
Methods:
We recruited 375 preschool children with cancer, from March 2019 to February 2020, via convenience sampling. The self-regulation shift theory was implemented as a theoretical framework and a structural equation model was applied to construct and validate this framework and to analyze the relationships among various influencing factors.
Results:
Children's effortful control, parent-child attachment, the family environment, family upbringing, parents' marital quality, parents' education level, and social support significantly affected children's emotions and behaviors. Additionally, children's effortful control and parent-child attachment mediated the effect of the family environment, family upbringing, and parents' marital quality on children's emotions and behaviors."
Conclusion:
This study identified several factors that influence children's emotions and behaviors, which should be considered while developing predictive intervention strategies to promote children's rehabilitation and improve parents' education, thus offering improved support for children with cancer.
