Introduction : La qualitĂ© de vie liĂ©e Ă la santĂ© est une composante essentielle des soins pour les enfants atteints de cancer. Les Ă©valuations parentales et autorapportĂ©es de la qualitĂ© de vie ne concordent pas et des diffĂ©rences notables sont rĂ©pertoriĂ©es dans la littĂ©rature. Une mĂ©ta-analyse a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©e afin de synthĂ©tiser l'ampleur des niveaux dâaccord et diffĂ©rences entre les Ă©valuations parentales et autorapportĂ©es de la qualitĂ© de vie des enfants Ă tous les stades du cancer et afin d'identifier les modĂ©rateurs dâaccord et diffĂ©rences. Objectifs : (1) Identifier les niveaux dâaccord parents-enfants sur la qualitĂ© de vie liĂ©e Ă la santĂ©, (2) Ăvaluer la taille des diffĂ©rences parents-enfants sur la qualitĂ© de vie liĂ©e Ă la santĂ©, (3) DĂ©terminer les modĂ©rateurs dâaccord et diffĂ©rences parents-enfants parmi les caractĂ©ristiques des participants (statut clinique, Ăąge, culture) et les caractĂ©ristiques des Ă©tudes (instruments, cotes de qualitĂ©) MĂ©thodologie : Une recherche systĂ©matique documentaire a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©e. Les articles admissibles devaient Ă©valuer la qualitĂ© de vie des enfants atteints de cancer par des mesures parentales et autorapportĂ©es. Des mĂ©ta-analyses alĂ©atoires ont comparĂ© les Ă©valuations globale, physique et psychologique de la qualitĂ© de vie selon les niveaux dâaccord (r) et la taille des diffĂ©rences (Hedgeâs g). Des analyses catĂ©gorielles ont permis dâidentifier les modĂ©rateurs. RĂ©sultats : Vingt articles, comptabilisant 2 093 enfants et 2 108 parents, Ă©taient admissibles sur 1 145 Ă©ligibles. Des r pondĂ©rĂ©s de 0.65 (modĂ©rĂ©), 0.64 (modĂ©rĂ©) et 0.55 (passable) ont Ă©tĂ© obtenus pour lâaccord parents-enfants sur les domaines global, physique et psychologique respectivement. Des Ă©carts parents-enfants plus grands ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©pertoriĂ©s sur le domaine psychologique (g = 0.50, modĂ©rĂ©) comparativement au domaine physique (g = 0.22, faible). Un meilleur accord parents-enfants Ă©tait associĂ© Ă un plus jeune Ăąge chez les enfants, Ă la culture asiatique, Ă des enfants recevant actuellement un traitement contre le cancer et Ă des Ă©tudes de meilleure qualitĂ©. Conclusion : Les niveaux dâaccord et les diffĂ©rences parents-enfants soulignent l'importance dâexaminer les modĂ©rateurs des Ă©carts afin de mieux comprendre, Ă©valuer et orienter les soins liĂ©s Ă la qualitĂ© de vie en oncologie pĂ©diatrique.Background : Health-related quality of life is an essential component of care for children with cancer. Parental and self-reported assessments do not concord and significant differences are found in the literature. A systematic meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the extent of agreement and discrepancies between parental and children reports of childâs health-related quality of life at all stages of the cancer diagnosis and to identify key moderators of agreement and discrepancies. Objectives : [1] Identify levels of parent-child agreement on health-related quality of life (2) Assess the size of differences between parental and children ratings on health-related quality of life (3) Determine moderators of parent-child agreement and discrepancies among participant characteristics (clinical status, age, culture) and study characteristics (instruments, quality scores) Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted. To be eligible, the articles had to quantitatively measure the health-related quality of life of children with cancer through parental and self-reported assessments. Random meta-analyses compared parent-child ratings on health-related quality of life domains (global, physical, psychological) and by levels of agreement (r) and size of differences (Hedge's g). Categorical analyses served to identify the moderators of agreement and discrepancies. Results: Twenty studies, comprising 2 093 children and 2 108 parents, were eligible out of 1 145. Weighted râs of 0.65 (good), 0.64 (good) and 0.55 (fair) were obtained for parent-child agreement on the physical and psychological domains respectively. Larger gaps were found between parental and children ratings on the psychological domain (g = 0.50, moderate) compared to the physical domain (g = 0.22, low). A better parent-child agreement was associated with a younger age in children, Asian cultures, children currently receiving cancer treatment and better quality studies. Conclusion: Agreement levels and parent-child differences on child health-related quality of life highlight the importance of examining moderators to better understand, evaluate and guide of the delivery of care in pediatric oncology
Ăvaluations parentales et Ă©valuations auto-rapportĂ©es de lâanxiĂ©tĂ©, la dĂ©pression et la dĂ©tresse chez les jeunes survivants du cancer pĂ©diatrique
Introduction : Les Ă©valuations parentales et les Ă©valuations auto-rapportĂ©es sur le statut psychologique des enfants ne concordent pas. Des caractĂ©ristiques propres aux enfants et parents prĂ©diraient les diffĂ©rences. Objectifs : (1) identifier les accords mĂšres-enfants et pĂšres-enfants sur lâanxiĂ©tĂ©, la dĂ©pression et la dĂ©tresse de lâenfant (2) Ă©valuer la taille des diffĂ©rences entre les Ă©valuations (3) explorer lâeffet prĂ©dictif des caractĂ©ristiques sociodĂ©mographiques (Ăąge de lâenfant, sexe de lâenfant, revenu parental) et des symptĂŽmes psychologiques sur les Ă©carts entre les Ă©valuations. MĂ©thodologie : 62 triades enfant-mĂšre-pĂšre ont complĂ©tĂ© des mesures dâanxiĂ©tĂ©, de dĂ©pression et de dĂ©tresse pour lâenfant. Les parents ont aussi complĂ©tĂ© une mesure de symptĂŽmes psychologiques. Des coefficients de corrĂ©lation intraclasse, des tailles dâeffets, des graphiques Bland-Altman et des rĂ©gressions hiĂ©rarchiques ont Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©s. RĂ©sultats : Les indices dâaccord Ă©taient faibles pour les Ă©valuations mĂšres-enfants et pĂšres-enfants. Les parents avaient tendance Ă surestimer lâanxiĂ©tĂ©, la dĂ©pression et la dĂ©tresse de leur enfant. Les tailles de diffĂ©rences Ă©taient modĂ©rĂ©es. Les symptĂŽmes psychologiques des parents prĂ©disaient les Ă©carts entre les Ă©valuations. Conclusion : Nos rĂ©sultats supportent la mĂ©thode multi-informateur pour identifier la dĂ©tresse chez les jeunes survivants. Des mesures dâajustements pourraient ĂȘtre dĂ©veloppĂ©es pour corriger lâeffet de symptĂŽmes psychologiques Ă©levĂ©s sur les Ă©valuations parentales.Introduction: Cancer care guidelines recommend to evaluate distress, but few studies target young childhood cancer survivors. Parentsâ ratings and childrenâs self-report of anxiety, depression, and distress do not correspond. Childrenâs or parentsâ characteristics could be associated with the gap between ratings. Objectives: (1) identify mother-child and father-child agreement on anxiety, depression and distress ratings (2) evaluate the size of the difference between ratings of parents and children (3) explore the predictive effects of sociodemographic characteristics (child age, child sex, parental income) and of parental psychological symptoms the gap between ratings. Methods: 62 young cancer survivors (<18 years old) and both their parents participated. Parents further completed a measure of psychological symptoms. Intraclass correlation coefficients and sizes of the differences were calculated. Bland-Altman plots and hierarchical regression were used. Results. Agreement ranged from poor to fair for mother-child and father-child ratings. Parents overestimated anxiety, depression, and distress. Moderated effect sizes were found between ratings. Parental psychological symptoms predicted the gap between parentsâ and childrenâs ratings. Conclusion: Our results support a multi-informant strategy to identify distress in young survivors. Adjustment strategies could be developed to account for the effect of elevated parental psychological symptoms on parentâs ratings when they are the only source of available information on the child
Could we use parent report as a valid proxy of child report on anxiety, depression, and distress? : a systematic investigation of fatherâmotherâchild triads in children successfully treated for leukemia
Background
Systematic assessment of emotional distress is recommended in after care. Yet, it is unclear if parent report may be used as a proxy of child report. The aim of this study was to assess agreements and differences and explore possible moderators of disagreement between child and parent ratings.
Methods
Sixtyâtwo young survivors treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (9â18 years) and both parents responded to the Beck Youth Inventory (anxiety and depression) and the distress rating scale on the child's status. Parents completed the Brief Symptom Inventoryâ18 on their own psychological status. Systematic analyses of agreement and differences were performed.
Results
Motherâchild and fatherâchild agreements were fair on anxiety, depression, and distress (median intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.37). Differences between parents and children were medium sized (median d = 0.55) with parents giving higher scores than their children on anxiety, depression, and distress. Mothers reported distress more frequently than fathers (39 vs. 17%) when children reported none. The child being female and lower parental income were associated with lower agreement in fathers when rating child distress. Higher levels of parental psychological symptoms were consistently associated with lower agreement.
Conclusions
Parentâchild differences when rating adolescent survivorsâ difficulties may be more important than previously thought. Parent report probably cannot be considered as a valid proxy of older child report on such internalized domains as anxiety, depression, or distress in the afterâcare clinic. Parentsâ report is also likely to be influenced by their own mood, a factor that should be corrected for when using their report
