“…Decisions about how to interview and about who should be present during the interview are essential; they influence the timbre of the interview and the data gathered (Sakellariou et al . , Higham & Davies ). In this article we reflect on personal experiences of ethical and methodological challenges related to phenomenological in‐depth interviewing with patients and partners together, separately and with the unexpected presence of a partner.…”

“…Scrutinizing research studies, we found that this particular issue is sparsely addressed although such an unexpected situation poses complex ethical and methodological challenges. Some researchers have reported that the unexpected presence of the partner altered the atmosphere of the interview regardless of whether the partner was loitering in the periphery or taking part in the interview (Low , Higham & Davies ). Other researchers mention that although they aimed for individual interviews, the partner or other family members were present and contributed in some of the interviews (Gavey , Hammer et al .…”

“…However, they find it difficult to include him in this task, since usually it is the mother that occupies the leading role, with the father on a secondary position (3,6) . Therefore, in order to help fathers to develop the necessary skills for this care, it is important to provide an assistance that understands their needs and concerns and contemplates their personal characteristics and socio-cultural context (3,7) . The defense of masculinity stands out among the paternal characteristics, since being a father and caregiver is a challenge experienced by many men in global, regional and local contexts.…”

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Approval: 03-18-2017 ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize and interpret fi ndings and conclusions of qualitative research addressing the experience of the father in the care of the child with cancer. Method: Meta-synthesis of 16 qualitative studies from six databases, analyzed through taxonomic analysis. Results: Child and adolescent cancer have several repercussions on the daily life of the father, especially related to the stigma around the disease, the fear of the unknown and the social and family role. Faced with the illness and the need to care for the child, the father seeks to recover normality in the family and transitions between hegemonic masculine behaviors and practices culturally recognized as female. Final Considerations: The complex experience of the father, infl uenced by masculinities, was evidenced. The limitations regard the restricted understanding of the contextual specifi cities of the experiences, due to the limited characteristics of the parents and children described in the studies. The knowledge produced is useful to promote involvement of fathers in the care of the child, as well as to strengthen and assist him in this task.

RESUMO Objetivo: Sintetizar e interpretar resultados e conclusões de pesquisas qualitativas sobre a experiência do pai no cuidado do fi lho com câncer. Método: Metassíntese de 16 estudos qualitativos capturados em seis bases de dados e analisados por meio da análise taxonômica. Resultados: O câncer infantojuvenil impõe inúmeras repercussões ao cotidiano do pai, sobretudo relacionadas ao estigma da doença, ao medo do desconhecido e ao papel social e familiar. Diante da doença e da necessidade de cuidado do fi lho, o pai busca resgatar a normalidade na família e transita entre comportamentos hegemonicamente masculinizantes e práticas reconhecidas culturalmente como femininas. Considerações fi nais: Evidenciou-se a complexa experiência paterna infl uenciada pelas masculinidades. As limitações referem-se à restrita compreensão das especifi cidades contextuais das experiências, pelas escassas características dos pais e fi lhos descritas nos estudos. O conhecimento produzido revela-se útil para promover o engajamento paterno no cuidado do fi lho, bem como fortalecê-lo e auxiliá-lo nesta tarefa.

The Moderating Role of Genetics: The Effect of Length of Hospitalization on Children’s Internalizing and Externalizing Behaviors

et al. 2015

The study considered individual differences in children’s ability to adjust to hospitalization and found the length of hospitalization to be related to adaptive psychological functioning for some children. Applying the theoretical framework of three competing models of gene-X-environment interactions (diathesis–stress, differential susceptibility, and vantage sensitivity), the study examined the moderating effect of genetics (DRD4) on the relationship between the length of hospitalization and internalizing and externalizing problems. Mothers reported on children’s hospitalization background and conduct problems (externalizing) and emotional symptoms (internalizing), using subscales of the 25-item Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (1). Data on both hospitalization and genetics were available for 65 children, 57% of whom were females, with an average age of 61.4 months (SD = 2.3). The study found length of hospitalization did not predict emotional and behavior problems per se, but the interaction with genetics was significant; the length of hospitalization was related to diminished levels of internalizing and externalizing problems only for children with the 7R allele (the sensitive variant). The vantage sensitivity model best accounted for how the length of hospitalization and genetics related to children’s internalizing and externalizing problems.
