Intervention programs for children, adolescent and parents experiencing parental cancer: a scoping reviewa

Abstract

Objectives

to map intervention programs for children, adolescents and parents, or binomial (oncology patients and children) experiencing parental cancer.

Method

this scoping review was carried out according to the methodology recommended by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews - Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).

Results

a total of 29 intervention programs were identified: 13 directed to the binomial, 11 to children and adolescents and 5 to parents. Of all the identified programs, 10 do not specify the typology of proposed interventions, 9 refer to psychoeducational interventions, 7 refer to educational interventions and 3 refer to psychosocial type interventions.

Conclusion and implications for practice

it was verified that most of the programs identified are directed to children/adolescents and parents. The characteristics of programs and interventions differ between studies; however, the psychoeducational interventions are the most prevalent. The mapping of intervention programs and promotion of adaptation to parental cancer contributes to the synthesis of existing evidence on this theme, knowledge about interventions developed and the obtained results, raising awareness among health professionals, namely nurses, and decision makers in the health area for relevance of its implementation in clinical practice, considering the quality of nursing care provided to these families.
