    En este estudio se exploró los síntomas psicológicos y se analizó la relación e impacto del funcionamiento familiar, desde la perspectiva de los/as paciente/sobreviviente, la pareja cuidador/a y sus hijos), en el funcionamiento psicológico de 51 hijos/as adolescentes de pacientes de cáncer. Los hallazgos revelaron que los/as adolescentes exhibieron sintomatología en niveles clínicos. La expresividad familiar y una relación marital satisfactoria de los pacientes/sobrevvientes son los factores protectores de un mejor ajuste psicológico de los/as hijos/as. Las intervenciones con adolescentes que enfrentan el cáncer de un padre o madre requieren un cernimiento de riesgo del funcionamiento psicológico y familiar e intervenciones orientadas al sistema.

    This study explored the psychological symptoms and analyzed the relationship and impact of the family functioning, from the point of view of parents and their adolescent children, on the psychological functioning of 51 adolescents facing parental cancer. Findings revealed that the adolescents exhibited clinically significant symptoms. Family expressiveness and marital satisfaction reported by the patients/ survivors are protective factors and are related to a better psychological adjustment of the adolescents. Interventions with adolescents facing parental cancer require risk assessments of their psychological and family functioning and interventions focusing on the family system
