Abstract
Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in Parents of Pediatric Cancer Patients: A Mediational Analysis
Prior research finds that anxiety and depression among parents of pediatric cancer patients are associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms in response to children’s cancer. This study examined whether this relationship is mediated by parents’ negative affective reactions in response to their children’s cancer-related treatment procedures.
