Abstract

Background: Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a common form of childhood cancer, occurring before age 15. Parents of children with this disease initially showed signs of depression as well as emotional levels and disturbances in family functioning, in response to their children’s diagnosis. Although stigma and lack of awareness of mental disorders lead to increased rates of depression in parents, early detection of symptoms helps prevent further development over time.

Method: The non-probability sampling technique was used and 80 samples of parents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia children were obtained. In addition, this study was conducted at Haji Adam Malik Center General Hospital Medan, Indonesia. Multiple linear regression was used to assess this relationship with a predictive conceptual framework.

Results: The results of the multivariate model showed that the p-value was.  < 0.001 with r and β value for the parents’ length of education, income, marital status, patients’ age, and length of illness were 0.253 (−1.121), −0.293 (− 2.163), −0.161 (−2.587), −0.283 (0.643), and 0.234 (0.338), respectively, with a depression score of 89.1%.

Conclusion: Several factors affect the depression scores in parents including the length of education, income, marital status, patients’ age, and length of illness.
