社交功能困难在儿童脑肿瘤幸存者中很常见。社会参与是一种尚未得到充分研究的社会功能衡量标准，与整个生命周期的情绪健康相关。本文采用日记法评估儿童中期儿童脑肿瘤幸存者的社会参与情况。儿童脑肿瘤幸存者（N = 47；年龄 10.6 ± 1.4 岁；51.1% 男性，89.4% 白人）的 5.3 (SD) = 2.4，范围：2-9.9）治疗后完成了社交互动的每日日记评估（5-7天）和面部情感识别的客观测量。参与者的护理人员完成了 NIH 工具箱情绪测量和背景信息调查问卷。总体而言，幸存者报告的社交互动的频率和质量较低，很大一部分幸存者 (n = 16, 34%) 在过去 10 年里认可的社交互动不到 10 次。几乎一半的家长 (48.9%) 表示，他们的孩子在典型的一周内参加校外社交活动为零。参与更积极的社会参与的参与者表现出更强的社交技能（面部情感识别（F（2,44） = 4.85，p < .05）。小儿脑肿瘤的学龄幸存者似乎很少参与社会参与和高质量的互动更具体地说，日记评估中最常报告的互动并不表明友谊的发展和维持。儿科脑肿瘤的幸存者可能会从旨在增加与同龄人共度美好时光的干预措施中受益。© 2023 Wiley periodicals LLC。

Difficulties with social functioning are common among survivors of pediatric brain tumors. Social participation is an understudied measure of social functioning that is associated with emotional health across the lifespan. This paper uses a diary method to assess the social participation of survivors of pediatric brain tumors in middle childhood.Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (N = 47; age 10.6 ± 1.4 years; 51.1% male, 89.4% White) who were 5.3 (SD = 2.4, range: 2-9.9) years post therapy completed a daily diary assessment of social interaction (5-7 days) and an objective measure of facial affect recognition. The participant's caregiver completed the NIH Toolbox Emotion Measures and a background information questionnaire.Overall, frequency and quality of reported social interactions were low for survivors, with a large subset of survivors (n = 16, 34%) endorsing fewer than 10 social interactions over the course of a typical school week, and almost half of parents (48.9%) reporting that their child participates in zero social activities outside of school during a typical week. Participants engaged in more positive social participation exhibited stronger social skills (facial affect recognition (F(2,44)  = 4.85, p < .05).School-aged survivors of pediatric brain tumors seemed to be infrequently engaged in social participation and quality interaction with peers. More specifically, the interactions most commonly reported on the diary assessment are not indicative of friendship development and maintenance. Survivors of pediatric brain tumors would likely benefit from interventions designed to increase quality time spent with peers.© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
