Abstract

Parental dying is a life changing experience for children. This study explores children's strategies and (inter)actions in their everyday life when facing critically ill parents and imminent death, from the children's and parents' perspectives. A qualitative systematic review was carried out, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022306862). A literature search and screening in six databases resulted in eighteen articles. Thematic analysis showed that children were capable of developing various strategies to cope in everyday life, even in vulnerable situations. From parents' and children's perspectives, inclusion, openness, and communication about parents' situations, taking children's age and needs into consideration, were important to face and cope with the situation. Children were life-capable, also in vulnerable and difficult situations. This calls for the necessity of developing children-led support, by acknowledging, and taking the children's experiences, and resources, as starting points to tailor adequate support for children of critically ill parents.

关于父母身患重病且濒临死亡时儿童日常生活的定性系统回顾--儿童和父母的观点。
父母临终对儿童来说是一次改变人生的经历。本研究从儿童和父母的角度,探讨了儿童在日常生活中面对父母病危和濒临死亡时的策略和(相互)行动。本研究进行了定性系统综述,并在 PROSPERO(CRD42022306862)上进行了注册。通过在六个数据库中进行文献检索和筛选,共获得 18 篇文章。专题分析表明,即使在脆弱的情况下,儿童也有能力制定各种应对日常生活的策略。从父母和儿童的角度来看,考虑到儿童的年龄和需要,包容、开放和就父母的情况进行沟通对于面对和应对这种情况非常重要。儿童是有生存能力的,在脆弱和困难的情况下也是如此。这就要求必须发展以儿童为主导的支持,以儿童的经验和资源为出发点,为父母病危的儿童提供适当的支持。
