You learn to live; It is an altered existence: A study of mothers who care for adolescents and young adults navigating a sarcoma diagnosis
Objective The objective of this study was to explore the lived experiences of mothers caring for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with sarcoma using an existential phenomenological approach. Methodology Nine mothers participated in conversational interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis, informed by Van Deurzen's four existential dimensions (Umwelt, Mitwelt, Eigenwelt, and Uberwelt), identified recurrent themes within and across inter…
The Psychosocial Effect of Parental Cancer: Qualitative Interviews with Patients’ Dependent Children
Children experience considerable levels of ongoing worry and distress when a parent is diagnosed with cancer and have difficulties comprehending and articulating this. They also feel a level of disconnection from their usual support systems (e.g., parents) and are limited regarding who they can seek out and talk to. Mitigating children's ongoing worries and distress by promoting the availability and accessibility of parents and other supports to …
A Conceptual Model Depicting How Children Are Affected by Parental Cancer: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Approach
Cancer patients' children are vulnerable to psychosocial and behavioural issues. The mechanisms underlying how children are affected by their parent's diagnosis are unknown, warranting further research. This study investigated how children are affected by their parent's cancer diagnosis and provides a theoretical model conceptualising this experience. Informed by methods of grounded theory, embedded within a social constructivist framework, 38 in…
Bereavement outcomes of carers of patients with high grade glioma: Experiences of support before and after the death
Carers of people with High Grade Glioma (HGG) completed a survey assessing their anxiety, depression, and grief in addition to open-ended questions exploring their experiences of support pre- and post-death ( N = 25). One-third reported borderline or clinical levels of anxiety, depression, and grief related distress. Given the poor prognosis and rapid deterioration of patients with HGG, the findings highlight the importance of sensitive communica…
Torn in two: Experiences of Mothers Who Are Pregnant when Their Child Is Diagnosed With Cancer
Mothers of children diagnosed with cancer have been shown to experience high rates of psychological distress and poor physical health. Pregnancy further increases the healthcare needs of mothers due to the marked physiological changes and psychological adaptations. Our study aimed to explore the experiences of mothers who were pregnant and/or had a baby while their older child was receiving treatment for cancer. Our study employed a qualitative d…
Incorporating competing risk theory into evaluations of changes in cancer survival: Making the most of cause of death and routinely linked sociodemographic data
Considering the justifiable expectation for confounder adjustment in observational epidemiological studies, standard methods for tracking population-level changes in cancer survival are simplistic. This study demonstrates how competing risks and sociodemographic covariates can be incorporated using readily available software. While cancer has been focused on here, this technique has potential utility in survival analysis for other disease states
