Literature consulted regarding the proposed group A. Demographics/Population Issue This article by Svavarsdottir & Sigurdardottir (2006) aimed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a family-level intervention for parents of children newly diagnosed with cancer. Occurred in a university hospital in Iceland. Most families indicated that the intervention was important, helpful, and supportive, but the level of helpfulness of the intervention was variable. Offering an educational and support intervention at the family level was feasible and could be effective for such families. This would be helpful to me because both supportive and educational interventions appear to be effective on families. It seems that these types of studies are very limited. This article by Stutzer (1990) talks about when a child perceives that they have no control over a situation, regression, developmental disruptions, disruptions in sleeping and eating patterns, and a variety of behavioral problems may occur. Parents also experience a lot of anxiety and feelings of helplessness as they struggle to accept and cope with the cancer diagnosis. Parents who have power, who can gain ownership of the situation, are better able to support and help their children. It takes place at the Children's Hospital of British Columbia. This article is not only useful for knowing how children's and parents' behaviors influence each other's stress levels. It is important for parents to be aware of their emotions when they are with their children. This article provides another important point about how it is crucial for the group leader to pay attention to their emotions and dedicate time to self-care. This article by Rudolph, A., Pendergrass, W., Clarke, J., Kjosness, M., & Hartmann, R. (1981) discussed a parent education program that integrated existing educational and emotional support services of a large childhood cancer treatment center. This variety of topics and teaching techniques was attractive to parents and appeared to enhance learning. Parents enthusiastically participated in the pilot programs, acquired and retained new information, and appeared to benefit emotionally from their participation. This would be useful to me because it provides additional ways to carry out supportive and educational interventions together with parents in groups.B. Groups conducted for identical/similar populations. This article by Heiney, S.P., Ruffin, J., & Goon-Johnson, K. (1995) provided group support to bereaved parents whose child died of cancer and was suggested as a means of helping parents express emotions about their loss and improve their ability to cope with it.
