abstract

Most studies of children and adolescents following oncology treatment point to a good quality of life in these individuals. However, their parents’ views may differ considerably. They can worry more about the future and the satisfaction of their children. The present study identifies the differences between the satisfaction evaluation of the individual sources of quality of life from the point of view of children and adolescents themselves and from the point of view of their parents. At the same time, it also monitors the differences between different age groups. The research group consists of 172 children and adolescents after treatment of cancer and their parents. Data on the quality of life of children and adolescents after treatment was obtained using the SQUALA Quality Of Life Questionnaire. The assessment of satisfaction with specific sources of quality of life is very different for the youngest age group. Children report that they are much more satisfied with most sources of quality of life, both in comparison with older teens and in comparison with parents.
