الوصف: | Cancer-related communication is critical for parents' and children's adaptation to the disease. This randomized pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a 4-session intervention designed to improve parents' communication.A 4-session intervention was developed to aid parents to support their children through more open/adapted communication. Sixty-six parents were assigned randomly to informational booklet with and without 4-session support intervention arms. Parents' communication self-efficacy, communication behaviors, communication difficulties, knowledge about age-appropriate communication, theoretical knowledge about concerns of children, parenting concerns, and distress were assessed by questionnaires at baseline and post-interventions. Multivariate analyses of variance were performed to compare data between and within groups over time.The intervention attrition rate was 6%. Data from 60 participants were included in analyses. Parents in the informational booklet with 4-session support group increased their communication self-efficacy (F = 4.5, p = 0.04), reduced communication difficulties (F = 4.0, p = 0.05), and increased their knowledge about how to communicate (F = 4.8, p = 0.03).The results indicate that the 4-session intervention is acceptable, and shows preliminary evidence of efficacy.A short support intervention associated with an informational booklet may be useful for parents wishing to improve their communication with their children. |
