摘要：
This study examined the contribution of stressful life events in posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) stemming from childhood cancer among 121 patients. When controlling for demographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status), cancer factors (treatment status, time since diagnosis, and cancer type), and intensity of parental PTSS, history of stressful life events in the child's life emerged as a salient correlate of PTSS across the different measures and reporting methods used in the study. Overall, children who had experienced more frequent and severe life stressors endorsed greater PTSS in relation to the cancer experience. Clinical work and future research on children with cancer should focus accordingly on the potential cumulative impact of stressful life events on PTSS.
