Summary
This is a pilot feasibility and acceptability study to inform the development and testing of a novel communication intervention to support parents in their communication with children about cancer. The research questions to be answered by this study are whether the intervention being tested can be feasible and acceptable, and provide preliminary estimates of improvement in parental psychological distress.
Detailed description
This is a single-arm, single center pilot study using a pretest-posttest design to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a psychosocial intervention, Families Addressing Cancer Together (FACT). The purpose of the intervention is to decrease parental anxiety by facilitating parental communication about cancer with their children. The primary hypothesis being tested is that an intervention that assists parents with their communication needs with their children can be feasible, acceptable, and reduce parental psychological distress. Findings from this study will inform a future grant application to further test this intervention in a randomized controlled trial.
