Abstract
Importance: The number of patients with breast cancer who have children is substantial. However, the emotional burden of this disease and its implication for childhood development remain largely unknown.
Objective: To investigate the clinical factors in parenting stress in mothers with breast cancer and the association of maternal depression and parenting stress with their children's emotional development.
Design, setting, and participants: This cross-sectional study involved a survey of females with stage 0 to 3 breast cancer and was conducted from June 2020 to April 2021 in Seoul, South Korea. Participants were aged 20 to 45 years and completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression-Revised scale and basic questionnaires on demographic and clinical characteristics. Participants with children completed the Korean Parenting Stress Index Short Form (K-PSI-SF), Child Behavior Checklist, Junior Temperament and Character Inventory, and Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire.
Exposure: Having children in patients with breast cancer.
Main outcomes and measures: Multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between maternal depression and parenting stress.
Results: A total of 699 females (mean [SD] age, 39.6 [4.6] years) were included, of whom 499 had children (mean [SD] age of children, 8.0 [2.7] years). Depression was more common in patients with children (odds ratio [OR], 2.25; 95% CI, 1.01-5.05) and patients who had gonadotropin-releasing hormone treatment (OR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.15-2.44). Disease duration was inversely associated with depression (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.76-0.96). Cancer-related factors were not associated with the K-PSI-SF score. Having children aged 6 years or older (β = 3.09; 95% CI, 0.19-5.99); being the sole primary caregiver (β = -3.43; 95% CI, -5.87 to -0.99); and reporting certain temperament (eg, novelty seeking: β = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.46-0.71), emotional problems (eg, anxious/depressed: β = 8.09; 95% CI, 3.34-12.83), and sleeping pattern (eg, bedtime resistance: β = 0.57; 95% CI, 0.15-0.99) subscale scores in their children were associated with parenting stress. Depression and parenting stress were correlated (β = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.45-0.66; P < .001). The emotional challenges encountered by children of mothers with breast cancer were not significantly different from reference values.
Conclusions and relevance: This study found that in patients with breast cancer, child-related factors and depression were significantly associated with parenting stress, but breast cancer-related factors were not correlated. The findings suggest that mothers with breast cancer are susceptible to both depression and parenting stress and that tailored counseling and support are needed.
