OBJECTIVE: Parents with life-limiting illness anticipate the loss of their parental role and the long-term consequences of their illness on their @entity1 . The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between parenting concerns, quality of life (QOL), and symptoms of @entity308 and @entity148 in parents with @entity5 who have dependent @entity1 . METHODS: Sixty-three parents diagnosed with a Stage IV solid malignancy completed the @entity308 Scale (HADS), Parenting Concerns Questionnaire (PCQ), and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G). The Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (social support) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status were assessed as potential covariates. We performed descriptive statistics and multivariable linear regression models for @entity308 , @entity148 , and QOL measures. RESULTS: Mean PCQ score was 2.3 (SD 0.9), reflecting mild to moderate parenting concerns. Average @entity308 and @entity148 scores were 6.0 (SD 4.2) and 8.2 (SD 3.9), respectively. PCQ scores were associated with @entity308 (r   =   0.46, p   <   0.001), @entity148 (r   =   0.52, p   <   0.0001), and QOL scores (r   =   -0.60, p   <   0.001). The relationship of PCQ scores to @entity148 (B   =   1.5 p   =   0.016) and QOL (B   =   -5.7, p   =   0.02) remained significant after controlling for ECOG status, social support, and treatment status. CONCLUSIONS: Parenting concerns are associated with @entity148 and @entity308 and worse QOL in parents diagnosed with @entity5 . Further studies that evaluate how parental status affects coping and @entity458 in @entity5 are needed. Copyright    2015 John Wiley _ Sons, Ltd.
