How 'significant others' may support parents with decision-making about their child's cancer care: An integrative literature review.

Aim: To synthesise what is known from current international evidence about how parents are supported by significant others when they are faced with making decisions about their child's cancer care.

Background: Parents are faced with making challenging decisions when their child has cancer and may benefit from support. Whilst previous research has comprehensively explored how healthcare professionals can offer support, little attention has been given to how support may be informally provided from a parent's network of significant others.
