The purpose of this correlational study was to determine the association of life stressors and family resources with the psychosocial adaptation of the child whose mother has breast cancer. A convenience sample of 40 children, ranging in age from 8 to 19 years, with a mother diagnosed with breast cancer and treated at a cancer center in a middle-sized city in the southeastern part of the United States was recruited for the study. Contact was made with the mother during a clinic or home visit to collect information from the mother and child. The mothers completed the Life Stressors and Social Resources Inventory-Adult Form (LISRES-A) (Moos, Fenn, Billings, & Moos, 1988), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), (Derogatis, 1983), rated their child's behavior using the Children's Behavior Checklist (CBCL), (Achenbach, 1991), and provided demographic data. The children completed the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), (March, Parker, Sullivan, Stallings, & Conners, 1997), and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), (Kovacs, 1980). Data from these instruments were collected, and descriptive statistics, including means and standard deviations, were computed. Pearson product moment correlations were performed to test the relationships between the independent variables (family stressors and resources as recorded on LISRES-A, as well as selected demographic, maternal illness, and maternal distress variables) and the dependent variables of child psychosocial adjustment (CBCL, CDI, and MASC). Group means for categorical variables, for which correlation coefficients were not appropriate, were examined to determine how they influenced child psychosocial adjustment. Based on the bivariate correlation coefficients, the t tests that were performed for the categorical variables, and the hypotheses of the investigation, four separate hierarchical multiple regression equations were constructed for each of the dependent variables, to determine which independent variables predicted child psychosocial adjustment. Results indicated that for mothers' ratings of child adjustment ( CBCL Internalizing and CBCL Externalizing scales), women who reported less support from their spouse/partner reported greater symptoms of child internalizing behavior. Women who reported their child to be a greater source of stress reported greater symptoms of child externalizing behavior. Children whose mothers reported more friends as a family resource, self-reported less internalizing behavior (CDI).
