Özet
Purpose: Hope in pediatric oncology guides parents as an inner guidance compass through their child's challenging journey toward cancer treatment. This study was designed to examine the effects of psychological resilience, spiritual well-being, and some child- and parent-related factors on parents' experience of hope while their child is undergoing cancer treatment. Design and methods: This cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted between March and July 2022 in the pediatric oncology-hematology ward of a university hospital in Turkey. Parents of 120 children with cancer were included in the study. Data were collected using the child and parent questionnaire, Herth Hope Index, Connor-Davidson Resilience Short Form, and Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. In addition, the content analysis method was used to analyze the open-ended structured questions. Ethical approval was obtained for the study. Results: In the study, 57.5% of the parents who participated were mothers. The mean age of the children was 9.46 ± 5.00 years. 30.8% of the children were diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, and the mean duration of treatment was 20.42 ± 13.75 months. According to multiple linear regression analysis, child gender (β = −0.16), number of children (β = −0.16), cancer diagnosis (β = −0.24), resilience (β =0.31), and parental spiritual well-being (β =0.40) were the determinant factors affecting parents' experiences of hope. All these predictors explained 55% of the change in parents' hope levels. In addition, two main themes (increasing and decreasing factors) were identified regarding parents' experiences of hope. Conclusions: Insights from this study have the potential to shape interventions specifically designed to maintain parents' hope throughout their child's cancer treatment journey. Implications for practice: This study may provide insights for the design of intervention programs in pediatric oncology hematology wards aimed at strengthening the hope and improving coping mechanisms of parents with children coping with cancer.
