Health-Related Worries, Self-Image, and Life Outlooks of Long-Term Survivors of Childhood Cancer.
Zebrack, Brad J.; Chesler, Mark
Health & Social Work, v26 n4 p245-56 Nov 2001
This article poses three questions: What do childhood cancer survivors worry about? What characteristics prompt some to worry more and others less? What effect do worries have on survivors' self-image and life outlooks? Data demonstrated significant relationships among worries, "objective" factors like physical after-effects or relapse, and survivors' self-images and life outlooks. (Author)
