Abstract [sv]

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva föräldrars och syskons upplevelser och copingstrategier när ett barn i familjen drabbats av cancer. Sökning av litteratur har gjorts i databaserna Medline via Pubmed, Cinahl och Science Direct där 19 artiklar valdes ut. Resultatet visade att föräldrars upplevelser och copingstrategier var relativt samstämmiga. Upplevelserna tar sig ofta form i chock, förnekelse och stress de första månaderna. Hur föräldrarna sedan hanterar situationen kan variera, beroende på bland annat kön och religion. Ofta tar föräldrar till de problemfokuserade copingstrategierna. Syskonens upplevelser av barnets cancer visade sig oftast i psykologiska och känslomässiga yttringar, såsom depression, ångest och oro. De psykologiska beteendeproblemen yttrade sig i sämre resultat och uppförande i skolan. Det har visat sig att om syskonet upplevde bra stöd och support hemifrån så klarade de av att hantera sin bror eller systers cancerdiagnos på ett bättre sätt. Generellt så fungerade en stabil och trygg familjesammanhållning som ett komplement i både föräldrars och syskons copingstrategier.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this literature review was to describe parent´s and sibling´s experiences and coping strategies when a child in the family is diagnosed with cancer. Literature search has been done in Medline, trough Pubmed, Cinahl and Science Direct where 19 articles were chosen. The results showed that parent’s experiences and coping strategies are quite similar. The experiences often take form as chock, denial and stress the first period after the child’s diag-nosis. How to cope with the situation can differ, depending on for example sex and religion. The parents often tend to use problem focused coping. The sibling’s experiences of the child’s cancer are often showed in psychological and emotional manifestations as depression, anxiety and worry. The psychological behavior problems were shown in school with worse behavior and lower study results. If the sibling´s experienced god support from their family, then they could cope with their brother´s or sister´s cancer diagnosis in a better way. In general a stable and safe family cohesion worked as a complement in both parents and siblings coping strategies.
