i lessons not a lot's with carousel
or i one is
i've been reese recognized as a group in a native attention
a why the diagnosed with cancer in greater numbers and i younger children
and yet they experience pour survival outcome
higher rates of treatment on it here
and a poor quality of life even years after being successfully cured of ten
i cancer diagnosis and i y is also collides with an already complex like stage
i don't the timing of psychological vulnerability
with all these complexities it is crucial the research continues to focus on better ways
to assess
and marriage young peoples to stress
throughout the cancer experience
unfortunately there are no more barriers to gold standard psychological research in this group
one that is the lack of agreed upon meshes of psychological outcomes
that have been validated be used in this age group
such standardised validated outcome measures that crucial the field as a whole to advance in
our understanding or unnatural and severity of the stressed that young people with cancer experience
in addition our ability to create affected psychologically interventions depends much on our ability to
first
the to stress
to myself entertainment colleagues from thank you can also sent out that sydney children's hospital
can't in australia
and the university of new south wales
conducted a systematic review of psychological outcome measures that be validated for use among adolescents
and young adults with can sell

looking not only measures of distress
but also or more adaptive outcomes such as resilient
benefit finding and mindfulness based skills
interestingly from of four hundred published papers
we were able to identify seven a dimensions that have been validated for use among
a way we can sell
we located twenty more mentions that sure promise to be used to model a wise
contents are in the future
in addition the mix and match is that we define was specially well balanced
most of these measures quality of live
at the same time we found no validated measures a way that is that depression
anxiety post traumatic stress
fear of cancer recurrence
sense of identity
mindfulness based skills
sorry
what is the main in practice
the lack of agreed upon validated measures psychological outcomes
means that currently researchers the measuring and defining distressed an adjustment in very different ways
this makes it difficult for the field to achieve a consensus on questions like
what you need needs of young people with had a
what types of distress the most prevalent
our current support and intervention strategies actually making a difference
for the clinician working with young people with cats are annotated a basis
this main that's an h specific facets to stress or adjustment i just not picked
up by the scales that are currently available
review we explore the number of n portion features directions that the field of a
wise fact one colleges the whole
if you our research on a clinician
or anyone else with an interest in the psychological outcome the young people with can
sell
we try to rate this review and be part of this important conversation
