      Citation Excerpt :

      Two decades ago, a conceptual model was proposed for use in research about QOL in pediatric oncology. The simplistic structure depicted three categories of influencing factors: 1) internal environment, the child's level of functioning and self-view; 2) immediate environment, how the child related to significant others such as family members or clinicians; and 3) institutional environment, factors related to the greater society and social systems and how these interact with the child's illness context.1 Few of the concepts were measured in any single study, and thus the immediate usefulness of the model for actual practice was limited.

      In summary, adolescents' HRQoL at the time of a cancer diagnosis or the perceptions of their parents' regarding the adolescents' HRQoL at that critical time has not been previously documented. The conceptual model guiding this study was the model of environmental (internal, immediate, and institutional environments) influences on HRQoL of adolescents with cancer (Hinds, 1990). The assumptions underlying this model are that adolescents with cancer are (a) sensitive to the moods, attitudes, values and knowledge of others, (b) affected by daily events and ongoing problems related to health and illness, and (c) mindful of their own desires, values, expectations and preferences.
