Perceived problems of parents of adolescents with cancer: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCancer is a very unpleasant and unbelievable experience for parents and patients. The occurrence of this disease during adolescent as the most critical developmental stage can be associated with increasing psychological and social problems. The aim of the present research was to explain the perceived problems of parents caring for adolescents with cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present qualitative study was conducted using the content analysis method. Seventeen parents of adolescents with cancer were selected as participants by purposive sampling based on the inclusion criteria from December 2022 until November 2023. Continuous comparative data collection and analysis were carried out until reaching data saturation through semistructured interviews. Data analysis was also carried out using the qualitative content analysis method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. The reporting was carried out based on the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) checklist.
resultsThe comparative and simultaneous data analysis led to the extraction of 345 primary codes, 13 subcategories, and 3 subcategories, which were finally included in one main category. The most common challenges of parents of adolescent cancer included three main concepts: "emotional concerns regarding the disease status," parental stressors during treatment and hospitalization," and "parental job stress".
conclusionThe results showed that parents of adolescents with cancer face many challenges during the diagnosis and treatment process. Identification of these challenges can be helpful in developing a comprehensive care plan while considering the conditions of parents and affected adolescents in order to improve the quality of care.
