First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how parents of children with cancer cope with stress and how that affects their child's emotional well-being. Researchers will survey 60 parents and their children (ages 8–17) being treated at pediatric cancer centers in Italy. The goal is to understand which coping strategies work best and how the parent-child relationship plays a role, so that hospitals can offer better psychological support.
