NCT ID NCT07675083

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether video call discussions about how hope changes during a child's cancer journey are feasible and helpful for both bereaved parents and learners at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Bereaved parents act as facilitators, while learners (students, trainees, new clinicians) participate in virtual sessions. Researchers measure feasibility, acceptability, and impact through surveys and written reflections.
