Article Synopsis
- Childhood cancer is a significant source of stress for families, affecting parental emotional well-being and coping abilities, which in turn can impact the child's emotional state.
- A study of 270 parents whose children are undergoing cancer treatment revealed high levels of depression and anxiety, with 33% experiencing mild to severe depression and nearly half showing signs of anxiety.
- The findings suggest that the length of the child's illness correlates with increased levels of both anxiety and depression among parents, indicating a need for better emotional support resources for families facing such challenges.
