| Resumen:Objective The developmental psychology literature shows that children with higher levels of effortful control (EC) and ego-resilience (ER) display greater social competence and better emotional adjustment. This study examined whether these dispositional attributes contribute to positive quality of life (QOL) in pediatric cancer patients. Method Participants were 103 pediatric cancer patients (and their parents) who were part of a larger parent study. At study entry, parents reported their own anxiety and depression and their children’s EC and ER. At 3-month follow-up, parents reported children’s QOL. Results ER was positively correlated with children’s QOL. EC showed a positive indirect effect on QOL through ER. Inclusion of potential correlates of pediatric QOL (e.g., parent neuroticism) did not change these relationships. Conclusions Temperament and personality play significant roles in pediatric cancer patients’ QOL. Assessing dispositional attributes early in treatment may help identify children at risk for poor QOL during and after treatment. | |
