Gender‐specific differences in parental health‐related quality of life in childhood cancer

Parents of children with cancer are at risk for impaired health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Most prior research has focused on the HRQoL of mothers. The aim of this study is to describe HRQoL in mothers and fathers, and determine the influence of sociodemographic, medical, and psychosocial factors.
