“…Overall, the fourth and fifth grade children in this study had relatively high levels of knowledge about cancer. This study and others (e.g., Karabudak et al, 2020) are good counterpoints to early work by Treiber et al (1986) that revealed that children's knowledge of cancer was lacking in significant ways.…”

“…For example, Sugisaki et al (2019) reported that students having parents or relatives with cancer had higher levels of cancer understanding. At times, researchers (e.g., Karabudak et al, 2020) have specifically excluded children with relatives with cancer from their study sample to meet their aim of understanding what a healthy "non-disease-experienced" child population looked like.…”

The focus of this study was to explore children's evaluations of healthy peers and peers with cancer. A racially and ethnically diverse group of fourth-and fifth-grade children (n = 109) viewed a story about a child engaged in a physically challenging rock climbing tower activity at camp. The way the child (healthy or with cancer) ascended and descended the climbing tower (independently or with assistance) was manipulated. Assessment from the participants included their evaluations of the climber (regarding peer acceptance and trait favorability) and their knowledge of cancer. Also, participants' own behavioral difficulties were assessed by their parents. Results showed that when the climber was healthy, peer acceptance and bravery were higher when ascending independently compared to doing so with assistance. In contrast, the climber with cancer was accepted as a friend and deemed brave, regardless of climbing method. Results revealed that participants had high levels of knowledge about cancer and were likely to know that children with cancer can play outside if they saw just that in the story they heard. These findings suggest that presenting children with cancer engaging in authentic and destigmatizing activities can impact how they are perceived by their potential peers and thus could be an important component for school re-entry programs.

“…The daunting nature of cancer, encompassing challenging diagnoses, treatments, and care, can make it arduous for adolescents to sustain hope (Testoni et al, 2023). Invasive cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, injections, prolonged hospital stays, separation from home and family, and limited interactions with friends might diminish their sense of hope (Sarıkaya Karabudak et al, 2020). However, while existing research primarily focuses on distress and hopelessness, there is a notable deficiency in information regarding factors that could enhance the sense of hope in adolescents undergoing cancer treatment.…”

This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of hope in adolescents diagnosed with cancer and examine adolescents' lived experiences of hope. The study was conducted between November 2022 and March 2023. The study used a phenomenological‐visual qualitative research design with 20 adolescents in the pediatric oncology ward. The purposive sampling method was used in the study. Data were collected using “Descriptive Characteristic Form,” “Semi‐structured Interview Form,” “Drawing Technique,” and “Mutual Storytelling Technique”. The adolescents were instructed, “Let us draw our hopes,” and asked to draw pictures. Each adolescent was interviewed about the drawings and asked four semi‐structured questions. Audio recordings of the interviews were made and transcribed. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used in the analysis of the data. Two main themes and four subthemes were identified in the study. Metaphorical and conceptual context was included in the theme of symbolizing and linking hope. Two subthemes, facilitators and barriers, were identified in the main theme of rooting hope. The study sheds light on hope experiences in adolescents receiving cancer treatment and guides healthcare professionals.

“…As society progresses, the material well-being of the public is being further enhanced, but the number of subhealth (the third state, also known as the grey state, pre-morbid state, sub-clinical stage, pre-clinical stage and latent disease stage) includes the absence of clinical symptoms or the perception of minimal symptoms, albeit with underlying pathological information. This concept is more popular in Chinese academia and society, and is considered by scholars to be similar to the "chronic fatigue syndrome" developed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [1]; chronically ill groups are gradually increasing due to the weakness of the concept of healthy living and the lack of knowledge about healthy living [2][3][4][5], even if the WHO does a good job on the social and commercial determinants of health [6,7].…”

(1) Background: In recent years, new media and the integration of sport and medicine have promoted the rapid integration and development of the two fields of health and, to a certain extent, the pursuit of public health knowledge and the promotion of health concepts. However, the overall development process is at an early stage and the aim of this paper is to make an empirical analysis of its development through a SWOT-AHP model and give corresponding recommendations. (2) Methods: The SWOT-AHP model was constructed to quantitatively and qualitatively analyse the four dimensions of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats obtained through the Delphi method, with regard to development and to determine the strategic direction of its development. (3) Results: The strategic azimuth θ is −13.243° and the strategic coefficient p is 0.53699, in the diversification zone. (4) Conclusions: New media, as a fast track to empowering the integration of sport and medicine for health, is a field with a bright future, but its own strengths and external threats coexist and should be maximised to overcome the disruptions caused by external threats through a variety of measures.
