Resumen

Poco se conoce sobre el ajuste psicológico de padres de niños en recidiva de cáncer y en remisión. Este estudio investigó las diferencias en el ajuste psicológico de cuidadores de niños con distintos pronósticos de cáncer, comparándolos con un grupo control. Participaron 183 cuidadores de niños en recidiva/en tratamiento (n = 32), remisión/sin tratamiento (n = 75) y “sanos” (n = 76). Se analizaron los Inventarios de Depresión y Ansiedad de Beck, la Escala de Síntomas 90-R, el Cuestionario Norbeck de Apoyo Social Revisado y la Family Environment Scale mediante análisis de varianza, prueba t de Student, test de chi-cuadrado y correlaciones de Pearson. Los resultados mostraron que los padres de niños en recidiva presentaban menos ajuste psicológico. Además, se observó un efecto protector de la cohesión familiar y posibles factores de riesgo relacionados a variables sociodemográficas. Se discute la conveniencia de desarrollar intervenciones psicológicas para padres de niños en recidiva de cáncer.
