孩子被诊断出患有癌症对家庭来说是一件压力很大的事情。这项探索性多方法研究利用定量和定性多信息方法来调查父母家庭功能与兄弟姐妹健康相关生活质量 (HRQOL) 之间的关系，并描述儿童癌症儿童的父母和兄弟姐妹的经历之间的相互关系。共有14个日本家庭参与了定量研究，14个家庭中有4个家庭参与了定性研究。深入的半结构化访谈揭示了患病儿童治疗过程中的三个家庭单位阶段，其中包括特定的父母与兄弟姐妹之间的相互关系。我们还在定量研究中发现父母家庭功能与兄弟姐妹的 HRQOL 之间存在很强的相关性。结果表明，针对个人家庭成员和家庭单位的家庭护理干预措施非常重要，重点是加强父母与兄弟姐妹的关系并支持患有儿童癌症的家庭。
Having a child diagnosed with cancer is a stressful event for the family. This exploratory multimethod study utilized both quantitative and qualitative multiinformant methodologies to investigate the relationships between parental family functioning and siblings' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and to describe interrelations between the experiences of parents and siblings of children with childhood cancer. A total of 14 Japanese families participated in the quantitative study, and 4 families of the 14 participated in the qualitative study. In-depth, semistructured interviews revealed three family-unit stages during the time course of the ill child's treatment that included particular parent-sibling interrelations. We also found strong correlation between parental family functioning and siblings' HRQOL in the quantitative study. The results suggest the importance of family nursing interventions directed to individual family members and the family unit that focus on strengthening the parent-sibling relationship and supporting families who are experiencing childhood cancer.
