Outline of Final Research Achievements

Families of children diagnosed with childhood cancer and brain tumors are exposed to traumatic experiences and are severely psychologically affected (eg PTSD, post traumatic growth, etc.). Nurses are required to support the whole family, including their parents and siblings, to cope with stress. In addition, nurses are required to coordinate not only nurses but the entire medical team so that the medical team can support the family as a whole. This study aimed to develop a family support program focusing on the relationship between children with cancer or brain tumors and their siblings.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、小児がん・脳腫瘍患者本人およびその家族（両親、きょうだい）のためになるのは当然のことながら、それだけでなく、家族のきょうだいサブシステム機能向上に関する知見を得ることによって、より全般的なきょうだい支援の発展に寄与するものです。より具体的には、これまで無視されがちな家族員であったきょうだいについて小児保健・小児看護・小児医療の現場でどのようにアプローチすればよいかという提案に繋がった。
