ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effect of self-efficacy on parenting stress among parents of children with malignant solid tumors.@*Methods@#Totally 100 parents of children with malignant solid tumors were investigated and analyzed by using the general questionnaire, parenting stress Index-Short Form(PSI-SF) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES).@*Results@#The score of general self-efficacy for parents was 1.93±0.54, and the total score of parenting stress was 111.84±13.36. The general self-efficacy and parenting stress scores of parents with malignant solid tumors were significantly negatively correlated with the scores of parental misery, parent-child relationship and difficult children (r=-0.72, -0.65, -0.62 -0.55, all P<0.01). Hierarchical logistic regression analysis indicates that the parenting stress was influenced by self-efficacy, the gender of parents, education level and whether or not on position.@*Conclusions@#Self-efficacy is one of the most critical influencing factors on parenting stress of parents.A new approach to improve the self-efficacy is to be achieved to reduce the parenting stress level among parents of children with solid tumors.

The general self-efficacy and parenting stress scores of parents with malignant solid tumors were significantly negatively correlated with the scores of parental misery, parent-child relationship and difficult children(r=-0.72,-0.65,-0.62-0.55, all P<0.01). Hierarchical logistic regression analysis indicates that the parenting stress was influenced by self-efficacy, the gender of parents, education level and whether or not on position. Conclusions Self-efficacy is one of the most critical influencing factors on parenting stress of parents.A new approach to improve the self-efficacy is to be achieved to reduce the parenting stress level among parents of children with solid tumors.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the reasons of positive MR findings and negative radionuclide bone scan in the spinal metastasis.Methods 68 patients with spinal metastasis were undergone MR scan and radionuclide bone scan.MRI appearances including the site,location and their relation to the cortex of bone were analyzed. The relationship between MRI and radionuclide bone scan appearances were also analyzed.Results 561 lesions were detected by MRI,and only 199 lesions were found by raionuclide(199/561=35.47%).133 lesions located in the bone marrow without cortex erosion were not detected by radionuclide bone scan. The detective ratios of lesions located in the subcortex and through cortex were 25.58%(55/215) and 67.61%(144/213) on radionuclide bone scan respectively. The detective ratios in small lesions (
