IMPACT OF PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP.

OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this research was to examine patterns of parent-child relationship functioning among pediatric cancer survivors and their caregivers across a variety of relationship indicators (i.e., Involvement, Attachment, Communication, Parenting Confidence, and Relational Frustration), and evaluate how these factors relate to psychosocial outcomes in survivors.


METHODS
Young survivors aged 10-18 and their caregivers (N=165) completed measures related to posttraumatic stress and general distress. Caregivers also completed assessments of parent-child relationship functioning, and survivors completed assessments of social functioning. Latent profile analysis was performed to identify patterns of relationship functioning. Medical, demographic, and parent functioning variables were examined as predictors, and youth's psychological and social functioning were examined as outcomes.


RESULTS
A 3-class solution was the best fit to the data. The struggling parent-child relationship profile (15%) evidenced below average levels of parent-child relationship functioning across several domains. The normative parent-child relationship (60%), was characterized by average levels of parent-child relationship functioning across all domains. Finally, the high-involved parent-child relationship profile (25%) demonstrated above average levels of parent-child relationship functioning in involved activities, communication, and attachment and normative levels of functioning across all other domains. Medical and parent functioning factors predicted profile membership. In turn, profile membership was associated with survivor psychological and social outcomes.


CONCLUSION
Findings document the importance of extending existing research to examine patterns of parent-child relationship functioning, which may serve as a clinically relevant target to improve psychological and social outcomes in young survivors of childhood cancer.
