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. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
