Some parents deal with the medical and psychosocial challenges of childhood cancer by playing an active and assertive role in the medical treatment process. In this study involving 116 parents of children with cancer, 56 percent reported intervening at some point in the treatment process to prevent or correct a medical mistake. The nature of these interventions varied, but prominent among them were behaviors intended to (1) prevent or correct erroneous administrations of drugs, (2) remind the staff of correct or incorrect procedures, (3) alter intravenous procedures, and (4) mediate the staff's style of interacting with ill children. Parents with fairly high levels of income and education and those who were active in a local self-help group reported that they intervened more often. Moreover, parents who reported less satisfaction with the emotional support they received from staff reported intervening more often. The implications of the results for pediatric oncology social workers involve attention to the following: use of parents' expertise as a resource for the staff, empowerment of parents as active partners in the care of children, and liaison or reeducation efforts with staff so that they will appreciate the usefulness of inviting, or responding positively to, parental interventions in care. |
