Effectiveness of psychological interventions for parents of children eligible for paediatric palliative care: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of psychological interventions for parents of children eligible for paediatric palliative care. The authors analyzed 36 randomized controlled trials, noting that the evidence base was predominantly focused on oncology rather than broader life-limiting conditions. Results indicate that cognitive-behavioral and other multimodal approaches yield short-term improvements in anxiety, depression, and hope among parents of children with cancer.
