Abstract

Background: Parents of children recovering from hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) experience significant distress due to unpredictable and potentially life-threatening complications. Distress is heightened by intensive caregiving parents provide the child during the first 100 days after HSCT. Management of distress and adaptation to caregiving responsibilities may be enhanced if parents find benefit in their experiences through posttraumatic growth (PTG), yet little is known about how parents' experiences after HSCT foster PTG. This study aimed to explore how parents experience caregiving and PTG 100 days after children's HSCT. Methods: Thirty-one parents completed semi-structured interviews ∼100 days after children received HSCT. Results: Four major themes emerged from the data to describe parent experiences after HSCT: (1) psychosocial and healthcare contextual factors; (2) cognitive, affective, and social support reactions to HSCT; (3) problem-based, emotion-based, and cognitive coping strategies; and (4) PTG. Discussion: Results increase the understanding of how parents' experiences and caregiving responsibilities contribute to PTG. These findings may guide future research to understand how these experiences influence PTG. Nurses are integral to the parents' experiences. Future work should focus on nursing interventions that enhance positive reinterpretation of parents' experiences after their children's HSCT.

父母照顾经验与儿童造血干细胞移植后创伤后生长。

背景:从造血干细胞移植(HSCT)中恢复的儿童的父母由于不可预测和潜在的危及生命的并发症而感到非常痛苦。在HSCT后的前100天内，父母对孩子的密集照顾加剧了痛苦。如果父母从创伤后成长(PTG)的经历中获益，对痛苦的管理和对照顾责任的适应可能会得到加强，但关于父母在创伤后成长(HSCT)后的经历如何促进PTG，我们知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨父母在儿童HSCT后100天的照顾和PTG体验。方法:31位家长在儿童接受HSCT后约100天完成了半结构化访谈。结果:从数据中得出四个主要主题来描述HSCT后的父母经历:(1)社会心理和卫生保健背景因素;(2)对HSCT的认知、情感和社会支持反应;(3)问题型、情绪型和认知型应对策略;(4) PTG。讨论:结果增加了对父母的经历和照顾责任如何影响PTG的理解。这些发现可能会指导未来的研究，以了解这些经历如何影响PTG。护士是父母经历中不可或缺的一部分。未来的工作应侧重于护理干预，以增强对儿童HSCT后父母经历的积极重新解释。
