Abstract
The objective of this research is to provide further validation of the Parent Experience of Child Illness (PECI) scale. One hundred twenty-five caregivers of patients (age < 1–17 years) diagnosed with cancer returned questionnaire data at Time 1, and 75 caregivers at Time 2. Findings provide support for the psychometric properties of the PECI, including good test–retest reliability and convergent and discriminant validity. The PECI appears to be a valid assessment tool for evaluation of the distress and perceived resources of caregivers of pediatric cancer patients. Continued evaluation is needed with other chronic illness groups.
