Official title
Effects of a Storybook About New Leukemia Diagnosis Versus Standard Child Life Intervention on Parental Stress: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the effects of using a storybook versus standard child life intervention with parents of children newly diagnosed with leukemia on parental stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What effect will the storybook have on parent/legal guardian stress at three timepoints: baseline, discharge, and follow up? * Will this storybook impact parent/legal guardian comfort levels and improve their child's understanding? Participants will be asked to complete surveys at three timepoints, prior to and following child life intervention and about 3.5 months later. During child life interventions, participants will receive resources and support to explain leukemia to their school aged, 3-16-year-old, child (patient or sibling). Researchers will compare Intervention and Control Groups to see if parental stress is lower in those who received the storybook in addition to the standard child life intervention versus the standard child life intervention alone.
