“…A register-based study from Japan reported a prevalence of 24.7% of cancer patients between 20 and 59 years with minor children (<18 years) ( 42 ). In a sample from Norway, 13.5% of 84.202 women with a history of cancer had minor children and 15.9% had young adult children (19–25 years); in 67.554 men with cancer 14% were fathers of minor children and 15.6% of young adult children (19–25 years) ( 43 ).…”

“…These aspects were assessed using different instruments and assessment strategies, which results in different prevalence rates ( Table 3 ). Documentation of psychiatric care use and documented psychiatric diagnosis yielded prevalence rates between 2.5 and 16.2% ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 46 ) in different samples (e.g., regarding age, gender). One study including parental report of cancer survivors reported a prevalence rate of 10.8% of distress in children (6–18 years) up to 6 years after diagnosis parental cancer diagnosis ( 44 ).…”

“…Three articles (three samples) reported estimate rates on the prevalence of cancer patients with minor or young adult children (30,31), whereas 11 articles reported estimate rates on children or young adults having a parent with cancer (29,(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41). Two articles reported both, estimate rates of cancer patients with minor or young adult children and children and young adults having a parent with cancer (42,43). Three articles reported prevalence of parental cancer and prevalence on psychosocial situation and well-being in children (44)(45)(46).…”

This review assessed population-based estimate rates of cancer patients with minor and young adult children (≤ 25 years), children and young adults having a parent with cancer as well as the psychosocial situation and well-being of children and young adults affected by parental cancer. Eighteen publications on population-based studies were included. Studies varied in the age ranges of both cancer patients and children. The prevalence rates of cancer patients having children ranged from 14 to 24.7% depending on the sample structure (e.g., age, gender). Studies reported that between 1.6 and 8.4% of children resp. young adult children have a parent with a history of cancer. Seven publications reported on the psychosocial situation or well-being in children and young adults affected by parental cancer. Estimate rates of psychosocial problems, psychiatric diagnoses or distress ranged between 2.5 and 34% of children depending on the method of measurement and outcome. The differences in the sample structure between the studies impeded the comparison of prevalence rates. However, the findings help to determine the need for specific support services and health care planning. The results emphazise the importance to routinely include issues on the parental role of patients and questions on the well-being and coping of children into psychooncological care. If necessary, support should be provided to families living with a cancer diagnosis.

“…Third, there was a predominance of women in our sample (80%), compared with previous studies. [24][25][26][27] Fourth, the percentage of respondents was small at about 10% of all the members of the website; thus, it was di cult to identify the number of all members who matched the inclusion criteria. Therefore, the ndings may contain a response bias and self-selection bias.…”

Purpose Many cancer patients with minor children experience difficulty when talking about their illness with their children. The aim of this study is to investigate the parenting experiences of cancer patients with minor children and their conversations about the possibility of death. Methods A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted between April and May 2019. Cancer patients with minor children were recruited from among an online peer support group called “Cancer Parents”. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire about their experiences talking about their illness with their children. The participants were classified into those who disclosed their cancer to their children (“disclosed group”), and those who didn’t disclose (“undisclosed group”). The association between whether they talked with their children about their cancer and their conversations about the possibility of death were examined. Results A total of 370 participants were analyzed (80.8% female, median age 43.0 years). The disclosed group (n = 274, 74.1%) wanted to know what their child felt than the undisclosed group (p < 0.001). The undisclosed group didn’t want their children to see their suffering (p = 0.002) and didn’t know how to explain their disease condition ( p < 0.002). Both the disclosed (42.1%) and undisclosed (6.5%) groups told their children about the possibility of death. Conclusion This study showed the disclosed group wanted to know their children’s feelings and they tended to have a conversation about the possibility of death with their children, compared to the undisclosed group.

Japonya' da 2010 yılında anne babasına yeni kanser teşhisi konan çocukların oranı yaklaşık %0,38' dir (Inoue et al, 2015). Norveç'te yapılan bir çalışmada her yıl 18 yaş altı çocuğu olan ailelerin yaklaşık %0,3'ü ebeveyn kanseri ile karşılaştığı, çocukların %3,1'inin ve adolesanların %8,4'ünün kanser tanısı konmuş bir ebeveyne sahip olduğu saptanmıştır (Syse et al, 2012).…”

Kanser tanısı alan kişilerde görülebilen fiziksel, sosyal ve psikolojik sorunların yanı sıra diğer aile üyelerinde de aile dengesinin bozulması, rol kaybı ya da rol değişikliği nedeniyle hastalardan daha fazla duygusal ve davranışsal sorunlar ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu süreçte özellikle kanserli ebeveynlerin çocukları duygusal ve davranışsal problemler açısından daha yüksek risk altındadır. Kanserli ebeveynin hastalık sürecinin ailenin günlük rutinlerini değiştirmesi, evdeki rollerin farklılık göstermesi, finansal sorunların yaşanması, her iki ebeveynin de fiziksel ve duygusal tükenmişlik yaşaması çocuklarda görülen duygusal ve davranışsal sorunların başlıca nedenlerindendir. Ebeveyni kanser tanısı alan çocuklarda anksiyete, depresyon, agresif davranışlar ya da somatik şikayetler gibi psikososyal etkiler ile ağlama, güvensizlik, arkadaş ilişkilerinde bozulma, ebeveynlerden uzaklaşma ya da aşırı ilgi gösterme ve okula konsantre olamama gibi bilişsel ve davranışsal etkiler görülebilir. Ayrıca günlük rutinlerin bozulması ve yaşanan duygusal semptomlar nedeniyle baş ağrısı, uykusuzluk, iştah kaybı gibi fiziksel sorunlar gelişebilir. Kanserli ebeveynin çocuk üzerindeki etkileri çocuğun cinsiyeti, gelişim dönemi, ebeveyn hastalığını algılayışı, ebeveyn ile çocuk arasındaki ilişki, aile işlevleri, kanserin evresi ve ebeveynin sağlık duruma göre farklılık göstermektedir. Bu süreçte çocukların sosyal destek ihtiyacı artış gösterir. Çocukların, ebeveyninin kanser tanısı alması ile kanserin etkilerini belirlemede, düşüncelerini ifade etmede ve dayanıklılığını artırmak için sosyal destek sağlamada yaşa uygun yardım alması önemlidir. Literatürde ebeveyni kanser olan çocuklara yönelik girişimlerin oldukça sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu makalede konuya yönelik farkındalık sağlamak amacıyla kanserli ebeveyne sahip olan çocukların olumsuz etkilenmelerini en aza indirebilecek girişimlerden bahsedilmektedir.
