Study Summary
This study will describe the perceptions of support and distress outcomes of single/lone parents of a child with cancer. Background: * Parents and families of children with chronic illnesses have stressors, including financial stress, role strains, separations, and interruptions in daily routines and plans for the future. All of these experiences may lead directly and indirectly to parental stress. * The number of families headed by single or lone parents is increasing. Little work has been done to better understand if the needs of parents who are providing care for a child on their own differ from parents who do not classify themselves as lone. Identifying parents who may need additional support within a pediatric oncology setting is very important so that appropriate support is provided. Objectives: \- To better understand the social, emotional, and practical effects of lone parents on children with cancer. Eligibility: * All parents whose child has been diagnosed with cancer between 6 and 18 months before enrolling on the study. * Participants must be able to speak and read English Design: * Parents will be asked to complete a questionnaire during one of their child s clinic or hospital visits. * The questionnaire will ask about the parenting experience since the child was diagnosed with cancer. It will ask about the support the parent has received from family and friends since the diagnosis. * The questionnaire will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
