Objective: This study examined the levels of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in pediatric cancer caregivers and the impact of spirituality on PTSD in Pakistan. Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at the Department of Oncology, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre, Peshawar, Northwest General Hospital & Research Centre, Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad and Quaid-e-Azam International Hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan from January 2023 to March 2023.Methods: The study comprised 153 Caregivers of pediatric cancer patients aged One month –12 Years using convenience sampling. The PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and Caregiver's Spirituality Scale (CSS-10) were used to collect data. Results: Results of the study found that 81 caregivers (52.94%) had high PTSD, and 96 (62.74%) had high spirituality. Females reported higher PTSD and spirituality than guys. Graduates have more PTSD and spirituality than illiterates and matriculate. PTSD and spirituality had a negative Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. Conclusion: The study emphasizes spirituality as a caregiver's mental health protector. Healthcare practitioners caring for pediatric cancer patients can use the findings to lessen PTSD symptoms by targeting caregivers' spiritual needs. Convenience sampling and self-report measurements decrease generalizability. Future study is needed to investigate the association between PTSD and spirituality in caregivers of pediatric cancer patients.How to cite this: Bashir N, Ain Q, Karim N, Niazi H, Khan MI, Asghar AK.

研究目的本研究调查了巴基斯坦儿科癌症护理人员的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）水平以及灵性对创伤后应激障碍的影响。研究设计：横断面研究：横断面研究：研究于 2023 年 1 月至 2023 年 3 月在巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦（KPK）白沙瓦的肖卡特-卡努姆纪念癌症医院及研究中心肿瘤科、白沙瓦的西北总医院及研究中心、伊斯兰堡的巴基斯坦医学科学研究所和伊斯兰堡的奎德-阿扎姆国际医院进行：研究采用便利抽样法，共收集了 153 名 1 个月至 12 岁儿童癌症患者的护理人员。研究采用创伤后应激障碍检查表-民用版（PCL-C）和护理人员精神量表（CSS-10）收集数据。研究结果研究结果发现，81 名护理人员（52.94%）患有严重的创伤后应激障碍，96 名护理人员（62.74%）患有严重的精神障碍。女性的创伤后应激障碍和灵性高于男性。毕业生的创伤后应激障碍和灵性高于文盲和预科生。创伤后应激障碍和灵性的皮尔逊相关系数为负。结论本研究强调了灵性是护理人员心理健康的保护神。护理儿童癌症患者的医护人员可以利用研究结果，通过满足护理人员的精神需求来减轻创伤后应激障碍症状。方便取样和自我报告测量降低了研究的普遍性。未来的研究还需要调查儿科癌症患者护理者的创伤后应激障碍与灵性之间的关联：Bashir N, Ain Q, Karim N, Niazi H, Khan MI, Asghar AK.巴基斯坦儿科癌症患者护理人员中创伤后应激障碍的评估和灵性的作用》。生命与科学》。2024; 5(1):33-40.
