Abstract

Introduction: Childhood cancer caregivers report psychological distress and unmet psychosocial needs, affecting outcomes for their children. An experimental study was carried out to measure the effectiveness of an intervention in addressing traumatic stress, depression and anxiety.

Methods: Caregivers (n = 59) of children with ALL were allocated to both groups (intervention, n = 29; TAU control, n = 30) via the SNOSE method. The intervention is a physical copy of a 2-week psychosocial self-help guidebook. Scores on the PCL-5, BDI and BAI were recorded at baseline, post-intervention and 1-month follow-up.

Results: There was a statistically significant difference in traumatic stress symptoms post intervention (F(1, 57) = 5.760, p = .020, n_p² = 0.093) in favor of the intervention group. No statistical significance was found for its effect at one-month follow-up, overall depression and anxiety.

Conclusion: A psychosocial module developed for caregivers of children with ALL was found to be effective in reducing symptoms of traumatic stress and potentially depression. However, the maintenance of its effectiveness and the effectiveness on anxiety requires further study.

针对急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）患儿护理人员的干预模块。

简介儿童癌症照护者报告了心理困扰和未得到满足的社会心理需求，这影响了他们孩子的治疗效果。我们开展了一项实验研究，以衡量针对创伤压力、抑郁和焦虑的干预措施的有效性：通过SNOSE方法将ALL患儿的照顾者（n = 59）分配到两组（干预组，n = 29；TAU对照组，n = 30）。干预措施是一份为期2周的社会心理自助指导手册。在基线、干预后和1个月的随访中记录了PCL-5、BDI和BAI的得分：干预后创伤应激症状的差异有统计学意义（F(1, 57) = 5.760, p = .020, np2 = 0.093），干预组更有利。在一个月的随访、总体抑郁和焦虑方面，干预效果没有统计学意义：结论：为ALL患儿护理人员开发的心理社会模块可有效减轻创伤性应激症状，并有可能减轻抑郁症状。结论：为ALL患儿的照顾者开发的心理社会模块能有效减轻创伤应激症状和潜在的抑郁症状，但其有效性的维持和对焦虑的影响还需要进一步研究。
