Brief Title: Illness Management and Parental Adjustment to Cancer Treatment
Official Title: A Clinic-Based Interdisciplinary Intervention for Parents of Children With Cancer
Study ID: NCT02505165
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a clinic-based intervention designed to reduce illness uncertainty for parents of children who have been recently diagnosed with cancer.
Detailed Description: The proposed trial will test the efficacy of the parent-focused clinic-based Parent Uncertainty Management Intervention (PUMI) to improve the outcomes of children newly diagnosed with cancer and their parents. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive equivalent doses of either the PUMI or an Education/Support (ESO) group. Theoretically driven by Mishel's model of illness uncertainty, the PUMI will teach parents about uncertainty prevention and management through the use of medically-specific communication, information management, and problem-solving skills via in-clinic sessions and an online portal. Parents and children will complete measures online at baseline, 1-week, and 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups.
