Study Summary
Recent focus groups at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) revealed several limitations in our understanding of how parents' relationships with care staff help and hinder their grief experience. Additionally, there is a gap in the bereavement literature regarding the psychological effects professional caregiver relationships have on parents whose children died of cancer.

Validation of the preliminary analyses of the initial 30 interviews will occur through new focus groups involving two separate sets of bereaved parents who will validate the findings and/or suggest additional avenues of inquiry needed to gain a more complete understanding of parental grief/bereavement experience. Additionally, focus groups with hematology/oncology fellows will obtain provider feedback on the value of these findings in their training and future role as physicians. The initial focus group portion of this study is complete and more than 30 interviews have been conducted with bereaved parent participants. Review of those interviews revealed that very few parent participants had children who received bone marrow transplants. For this reason, we will now specifically be recruiting bereaved parent participants whose children received bone marrow transplants at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We will be recruiting parents of children who received haploidentical and non-haploidentical bone marrow transplants because we believe the parents of deceased children who received haploidentical bone marrow transplants may have unique bereavement experiences related to their possible roles as donors.
