“…The current study supports the importance of family-based interventions and including both mothers and fathers when working with childhood cancer survivors, as both mothers and fathers contributed to better survivor functioning (Cetin, 2023). Interventions are encouraged to be attentive to parents’ sense of incompetence in addition to survivor functioning, as this sense of incompetence contributed to maladaptive parenting in both mothers and fathers.…”

“…More research is needed to further disentangle the potential mediating role of parenting in the association between parental sense of incompetence and survivor functioning, by including multiple perspectives (Bornstein et al, 2018). Important to note is that receiving the diagnosis of cancer during childhood differently impacts psychosocial development compared to receiving the diagnosis in adolescence and young adulthood (Cetin, 2023). Due to the wide range in time since diagnosis and in age at baseline in our sample, considerable variation in age at diagnosis among the survivors exists.…”

“…Interventions are encouraged to be attentive to parents’ sense of incompetence in addition to survivor functioning, as this sense of incompetence contributed to maladaptive parenting in both mothers and fathers. Consequently, interventions could increase parents’ sense of competence by educating them about illness-specific and normative developmental challenges of childhood cancer survivors (Cetin, 2023). Additionally, parents can be taught how to respond in a warm and supportive manner, as responsiveness seemed to contribute to a relative decrease in parental sense of incompetence over time.…”

“…Second, research has established the importance of parental support during cancer treatment. However, more research is needed on the impact of the parental context on psychological functioning of survivors posttreatment (Cetin, 2023). Third, as parents appear to be important for youth’s adjustment to cancer, most research focused on general family functioning and parenting stress, with limited studies addressing specific parenting dimensions (Howard Sharp et al, 2016).…”

Objective: The long-term psychological effects of childhood cancer vary, with childhood cancer survivors reporting depressive symptoms, fear of cancer recurrence, and benefit finding. As cancer is considered a family disease, investigating the parental context may provide insight into such individual differences in psychological functioning of survivors. This study examined the directionality of effects among parental sense of incompetence, parenting dimensions (responsiveness, psychological control, and overprotection), and survivor psychological functioning (depressive symptoms, fear of cancer recurrence, and benefit finding). Method: This three-wave longitudinal study (covering 2 years) included 125 Dutch-speaking childhood cancer survivors (ages 14–24, 95.2% diagnosed <18 years, and time since diagnosis 2–22 years), 114 mothers, and 91 fathers. Survivors reported (SR) about their psychological functioning and perceived parenting. Mothers reported (MR) and fathers reported (FR) about parenting and sense of incompetence. Cross-lagged panel models were estimated for each informant’s perspective on parenting separately. Results: Different relations were obtained for each informant. Primarily unidirectional relations were found from parental sense of incompetence to maladaptive parenting (psychological control across informants and maternal overprotection SR) and from parenting to survivor functioning. Maternal and paternal responsiveness SR positively predicted survivors’ benefit finding and negatively predicted survivors’ depressive symptoms, respectively. Responsiveness MR and overprotection MR positively predicted survivors’ fear of cancer recurrence and depressive symptoms, respectively. One consistent reverse pathway emerged: maternal and paternal responsiveness SR negatively predicted maternal and paternal sense of incompetence, respectively. Conclusion: The results support parent-driven processes impacting survivors’ psychological functioning and stress the need to focus on multiple perspectives when investigating family dynamics.

This article reviews the contemporary and inclusive definition of cancer survivorship, including patients with and without disease who have completed or continue to undergo treatment. The Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) describes in this article the needs of these patients and outlines a care model based on an estimation of cancer incidence and identification of patient needs, to enable the provision of practical actions to achieve effective care. The objectives of this review are to identify the main effects of cancer on survivors and to establish appropriate ways of measuring these effects, as well as discussing the management of physical, psychological and social, occupational, financial, and other health-related needs. We suggest a multidisciplinary care model and training programs for the different professionals involved in care, and highlight challenges and the future role of the SEOM and health-care policy in ensuring optimum care of cancer survivors.
