| الوصف: | The cancer diagnosis and its intensive treatment may affect the long-term psycho-social adjustment of childhood cancer survivors. We aimed to describe social, emotional, and behavioral functioning and their determinants in young childhood cancer survivors. The nationwide Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study sends questionnaires to parents of survivors aged 5-15 years, who have survived at least 5 years after diagnosis. We assessed social, emotional, and behavioral functioning using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The SDQ includes four difficulties scales (emotional, conduct, hyperactivity, peer problems), a total difficulties indicator, and one strength scale (prosocial). We compared the proportion of survivors with borderline and abnormal scores to reference values and used multivariable logistic regression to identify determinants. Our study included 756 families (response rate of 72%). Thirteen percent of survivors had abnormal scores for the total difficulties indicator compared to 10% in the general population. The proportion of survivors with abnormal scores was highest for the emotional scale (15% vs. 8% in the general population), followed by the peer problems scale (14% vs. 7%), hyperactivity (8% vs. 10%), and conduct scale (6% vs. 7%). Few survivors (4% vs. 7%) had abnormal scores on the prosocial scale. Children with chronic health conditions had a higher risk of borderline and abnormal scores on all difficulties scales (all p < 0.05). Most childhood cancer survivors do well in social, emotional, and behavioral life domains, but children with chronic health conditions experience difficulties. Therefore, healthcare professionals should offer specific psycho-social support to these survivors. |
