研究概览
简要总结
The aim of this project is to evaluate a person-centred informational intervention aimed at parents of children with cancer.
The following hypotheses will be tested: an informational intervention emanating from the parents' self-identified needs is associated to decreased illness-related parenting stress, decreased post-traumatic stress symptoms, increased received knowledge, decreased anxiety, decreased depression, increased satisfaction with information, and decreased number of health care contacts in parents.
详细描述
BACKGROUND
Parents of children with cancer have great information needs and report that these are not always met. Psychosocial suffering such as stress and anxiety is also common in this group.
INTERVENTION
The intervention in this study builds upon the representational approach for patient education. It emanates from Leventhal's theories about illness representation and educational theories about conceptual change. Central elements in the approach are parental choice of information topics of interest, and a thorough assessment of present parental knowledge before information is given. Each parent in the intervention arm gets four sessions with an intervention nurse.
