Cover Story: Children in pediatric oncology report unmet needs related to communication, information, and psychosocial support. Supporting the whole family involves challenges, with the risk that children’s voices are not heard above those of the adults. This study explored how children with cancer and their siblings experienced participation in a family-centered psychosocial support intervention, the Family Talk Intervention (FTI). Interviews were held with 35 children, both ill and siblings, from 26 families in pediatric oncology after participation in FTI. The interviews were analyzed using combined deductive and inductive qualitative content analysis, guided by the Lundy model of child participation. View this paper
