Abstract: Research has evidenced a marked increase in the prevalence of cancer among younger people with up to one in five, parenting children under the age of 18 years of age. When a parent is diagnosed with cancer they experience fears and anxieties as they attempt to simultaneously manage their role as parent, with the illness experience. Parents have expressed difficulties in knowing how to communicate appropriately with their children throughout the illness trajectory as they are primarily focused on protecting or … Show more

“…This then resulted in professionals often having the dilemma of not knowing if they should be promoting more open discourse with children or adopt a noninterfering stance [21][22][23][24]. Thus, professionals felt less conflicted when parents permitted them to interact with their children [26,28]. Where prevented, they overcame this by being present for the parent, thereby indirectly supporting the child [22,23], as well as identifying members of the wider family network who might be able to support the child [14,24,29].…”

“…The various interventions for children were described in the articles as: preventive education interventions to prevent psychosocial problems, psychopathology and to help cope and ease difficult feelings related to being a next-of-kin of a parent having an illness [30,32,33,42] and peer support alone or as a 4 weeks intervention program within the school holiday and/or an after school programme [32,42]. Some were described as a psychosocial support programme [43,44] and one as an internet café [38], while others were reported as having digitized some components [40]. One article described three new innovative services for children and young people living with parental substance abuse: first a structured group programme with a small number of families (usually between three and eight); second, offering a range of individual and group support to children over approximal 6 months, and last an outreach service for families where the client in focus is the parent with the alcohol or drug problem, but where other family members including children are involved [39].…”

“…However, one article described that the children's needs changed according to different stages of the parent's mental illness [51], which highlights the importance of taking the illness trajectory into account when providing professional support to children. Children wished to learn how to cope with their situation and get help to make their situation manageable [29,43]. This included help in managing their parent [48,54], especially when newly discharged, and further access to professional help when needed [51].…”

“…The need to evaluate the impact of parental cancer on children was acknowledged decades ago; however, there is still no "gold standard" on how best to do this (Krauel et al, 2012). Communicating appropriately about cancer with children and adolescents is still a challenge (O'Neill et al, 2020).…”
