Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
It is critical to provide accessible evidence-based psychosocial support to parents and caregivers of children with cancer (PCCC) in order to mitigate individual and family-level psychosocial risks. This effectiveness trial evaluates an eHealth intervention for English- and Spanish-speaking (PCCC) with study endpoints focused on decreasing negative psychosocial sequelae (acute distress, posttraumatic stress, and anxiety) and improving coping abilities (coping self-efficacy, cognitive coping strategies). The long-term goal of this research program is to sustain and disseminate an effective, scalable, high-reach, and cost-effective intervention to provide crucial support to PCCC across the pediatric cancer trajectory.

- description
- The Electronic Surviving Cancer Competently Intervention Program (eSCCIP) is an innovative eHealth intervention that combines cognitive behavioral and family systems therapy to provide parents and caregivers of children with cancer (PCCC) with evidence-based coping skills and psychosocial support focused on the family unit. eSCCIP has three 30-minute, self-directed, online modules which feature a unique mix of original video content and interactive activities, supplemented by three telehealth follow-up sessions. A stakeholder-informed Spanish-language adaption of eSCCIP (eSCCIP-SP) has been developed and will be offered to Spanish-speaking PCCC. eSCCIP aims to reduce acute distress and symptoms of post-traumatic stress while increasing positive coping self-appraisal and use of cognitive coping skills.

- description
- PCCC randomized to the patient education control condition will be given access to a website with information about psychosocial functioning, coping, and PTSS related to pediatric cancer. This website will be hosted on the same platform as the intervention, available in English and Spanish, and will consist of information modified from CopingSpace.org. CopingSpace.org is an evidence-informed website developed by Ryan's Case for Smiles, a national organization dedicated to supporting families impacted by pediatric cancer and other chronic diseases.
