Risk of somatic hospitalization in parents after cancer in a child, a nationwide cohort study.

Home-based cognitive behavioural therapy for families of young children with cancer (FAMOS): A nationwide randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Evidence-based knowledge is needed to reduce psychological symptoms in families of young children with cancer after treatment ends.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a psychotherapeutic intervention, FAMily-Oriented Support (FAMOS) on parents of young children after cancer treatment.

Methods: All families of children aged 0-6 years who had been treated for cancer at one of the four paediatric oncology departments in Denmark were invited to participate after ending intensive medical treatment.

Psychotropic Medication Use in Parents of Children Diagnosed With Cancer.

Background: Objective measures on parental distress after a child's cancer diagnosis are sparse. We examined the risk for first prescription of psychotropic medicine among parents of children with cancer compared with parents of children who were cancer free. In addition, we examined if sociodemographic and clinical characteristics are associated with risk of first prescription of psychotropic medication in parents of children with cancer.

FAMily-Oriented Support (FAMOS): development and feasibility of a psychosocial intervention for families of childhood cancer survivors.

Background: We developed and tested the feasibility of a manualized psychosocial intervention, FAMily-Oriented Support (FAMOS), a home-based psychosocial intervention for families of childhood cancer survivors. The aim of the intervention is to support families in adopting healthy strategies to cope with the psychological consequences of childhood cancer. The intervention is now being evaluated in a nationwide randomized controlled trial (RCT).
