Abstract:
This study found that children with a history of cancer had higher scores on certain measures of spirituality compared to their healthy peers. Health history was found to significantly moderate the relations among spirituality and outcome variables, such as depression and anxiety. Furthermore, parent-child dyads(cancer) had more highly correlated scores than parent-child dyads(healthy) on both the Depression subscale and the Existential Well-Being subscale, whereas parent-child dyads(healthy) had more highly correlated scores than parent-child dyads(cancer) on the Duality factor. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
