What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how bereaved parents of children with cancer and the oncologists who treated these children perceive communication about uncertain prognoses during the childs illness and after their passing. The study aims to understand these experiences and gather recommendations for improving conversations about prognosis when uncertainty exists. The study involves interviews with bereaved parents and the doctors who cared for their children at St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital. Participants will share their experiences and suggestions in a semi-structured interview conducted either virtually or in person, allowing flexibility to explore topics important to each individual. Participants will also complete a demographic questionnaire covering aspects such as age, ethnicity, and clinical practice years for oncologists. Researchers will analyze reflections on communication about prognostic uncertainty approximately 1 to 3 weeks after enrollment. The total participation time is brief, focusing on one interview session and a demographic form.
