ObjectivesThis study was conducted to compare emotional problems in children with neurosurgical diseases prior to surgery as well as levels of parenting stress experienced by mothers of children treated with surgery and those without surgery. The goals was to provide a basis on which comprehensive treatment interventions could be established. MethodsSubjects included 78 elementary school children who visited the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery as well as their mothers. The Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Revised Children Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) were administered to children. The Parenting Stress Indexs (PSI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to their mothers. ResultsThe children with neurosurgical diseases showed higher levels of depression prior to surgery. In their mothers, parenting stress was relatively higher and parenting competence was lower. In particular, for those children who under-went surgery, depression was significantly higher. Specifically, they exhibited more negative expectations, and negative self-image. In mothers of children who underwent surgery, depression was significantly higher. ConclusionOur results suggest higher levels of emotional distress and parental stress in children who undergo neuro-surgical operations and their mothers, respectively. Based on this, the necessity for surgical and comprehensive psycho-logical intervention is suggested. KEY WORDSChildren·Neurosurgical Disease·Surgery·Emotional Stress·Parenting Stress.
