“…The levels of depression and anxiety of children with cancer and their parents were higher than those of children with another chronic disease and healthy children, and the levels of depression and anxiety of mothers were higher than those of fathers in a study conducted in Turkey (Toros et al, 2002;Tuna et al, 2012). Another study reported that parents of children with cancer experienced a higher level of stress than the parents of children with disabilities (Hung et al, 2004). Baykan et al (2010) found that the life satisfaction of parents of children with a chronic disease was low, and Çavuşoglu, (2001) found that the levels of depression were higher among children with cancer than among healthy children.…”

“…Parents and siblings of a child with a chronic disease have been reported to be affected spiritually (Wijnberg-Williams et al, 2006a;Baykan, 2010). Studies have reported increased levels of depression, anxiety and hopelessness in children with cancer and in their parents and siblings (Çavuşoglu, 2001;Mu et al, 2001;Toros et al, 2002;Barrera et al, 2003;Hung et al, 2004;Norberg et al, 2005;Wijnberg-Williams et al, 2006a;Bayat et al, 2008). The levels of depression and anxiety of children with cancer and their parents were higher than those of children with another chronic disease and healthy children, and the levels of depression and anxiety of mothers were higher than those of fathers in a study conducted in Turkey (Toros et al, 2002;Tuna et al, 2012).…”

“…In various studies, e.g. [47], the PSI is used as a measure of parental stress instead of stress associated with parenting. This strategy might well result in drawing the wrong conclusions about the stress reactions that parents can have as a result of their child's illness.…”

AbstractObjectives: Diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer are continuous stressors in the lives of the entire family involved. Disease-related tools for the assessment of parental stress and adaptation are scarce. For that reason, the Pediatric Inventory for Parents (PIP), a diseaserelated measure, was translated into Dutch and its psychometric qualities were determined to prove its value. Methods: The PIP and three other measures (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, General Health Questionnaire and Parenting Stress Index, Short Form) were administered to 174 parents of 107 children diagnosed with cancer in three university medical centers in the Netherlands.Results: Internal consistency (Crohnbach's a 5 0.94 and 0.95) and test-retest reliability (Pearson's r between 0.67 and 0.87) of the Dutch PIP total scales are satisfactory. Validity was illustrated by a high correlation between PIP-scores and anxiety and general stress. Confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable fit to the data for the original four-factor and the one-factor models; the four-factor model showed slightly better fit.Conclusion: The PIP can be used in clinical practice to assess disease-related parental stress. Further psychometric testing is highly recommended.
