Can you see me? : A literature review about children as relatives to parents with cancer (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Många barn lever med en cancersjuk förälder. Dessa barn görs idag inte tillräckligt delaktiga i sin förälders vård vilket leder till oro och lidande. Syfte: Belysa barns upplevelser av att vara anhörig till förälder med cancersjukdom. Metod: En litteraturöversikt över kvalitativ forskning. Resultat: Fyra teman och tolv subteman framkom. Barnen upplever oro och ångest relaterat till sin förälders cancerdiagnos. De upplever att de inte blir delaktiga och får tillräcklig information från vården. Livet kastas om och en ny vardag tar form. Förälderns cancerdiagnos för inte bara med sig negativa känslor utan barnen upplever även positiva effekter i form av nya insikter på livet, de lever hälsosammare och skapar djupare relationer. Slutsatser: Det finns ett tydligt utbildningsgap och avsaknad av rutiner kring att möta barn som anhörig inom vården. Barnens upplevelser kan även överföras på barn som anhöriga till föräldrar med andra allvarliga sjukdomar.  

Abstract [en]

Background: Many children live with a parent with cancer. Currently, these children are not participating in the care of their parent, which leads to unnecessary worrying and suffering. Aim: Highlight the experience of being a dependent of a parent with cancer. Method: A literature review of qualitative research. Results: Four themes and twelve subthemes were found. The research reveals that children experience worry and anxiety concerning their parent’s cancer diagnosis. They feel excluded and that the information they receive from the health provider is insufficient. Life is turned upside down and a new normal dawns. The parent’s cancer diagnosis does not only bring out negative feelings. The children also experience positive effects, such as new insights about life, they become healthier and create stronger relationships. Conclusion: There is a clear educational gap and lack of routines in the meeting with children as relative in healthcare. The children´s experiences are transferable to children dependent on parents with other serious conditions.
