Experiences of Family Adjustment and Adaptation of Children with Acute Leukemia: A Qualitative Study.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the real experiences of family adjustment and adaptation of children with acute leukemia in China, and to identify the influencing factors, which will provide a basis for the development of family-centered intervention strategies in the future.
methodsThis study is a descriptive qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between September to December 2024 with parents of children with acute leukemia in a general hospital. Fifteen eligible participants were recruited using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsA total of fifteen parents of children completed the interviews. From the interview data, four themes and eleven subthemes emerged from our inductive analysis: (1) The cumulative effects of multiple pressures; (2) Effective activation and synergistic empowerment of protective resources; (3) Meaning construction and cognitive adaptation and (4) Adaptive responses to risk factors. The combination of multidimensional resources, positive cognitive appraisals, and coping styles build a solid foundation for families of children with acute leukemia to effectively cope with multiple stresses and dilemmas.
conclusionThe process of adjustment and adaptation in families of children with acute leukemia is complex and dynamic, influenced by stressors, resources, cognitive appraisals, and coping styles. This study confirms the applicability of the dual ABC-X model in explaining the family dynamic adjustment process among children with acute leukemia, providing a potential pathway for developing individualized clinical interventions.
