- ESTRÉS Y CALIDAD DE VIDA RELACIONADA CON LA SALUD EN PADRES DE NIÑOS CON LEUCEMIA LINFOBLÁSTICA AGUDA JOSÉ MORAL DE LA RUBIA LUIS GUILLERMO SEGURA HERRERA ENRIQUE GARCÍA GARCÍA ARNOLDO TÉLLEZ LÓPEZ Psicología Stress Adults Parents Quality of life Childhood cancer The aims of this research paper were to describe the levels of stress and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in parents of children with cancer, to compare central tendency between both sexes, and to predict HRQL. The Perceived Stress Scale and the COOP/WONCA Charts were applied to a non-probability sample of 40 parents. Comparison of the means by Student’s t-test and ANO- VA, correlation and paths analysis by maximum likelihood with compliance of the multivariate normality assumption were used for data analysis. There were 27.5% cases of stress. The HRQL mean decreased slightly compared to the mean of general population. This decrease was predicted by higher stress and greater time since diagnosis, being both predictors mutually independent. It is suggested to reduce the stress of parents with group sessions of stress management techniques from the early stages of childhood cancer treatment to improve their levels of HRQ. 2012 artículo científico 0124-0137 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=497552361003 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4975 Psicogente application/pdf Universidad Simón Bolívar Psicogente (Colombia) Num.28 Vol.15
