Children and adolescents' preferences for support when living with a dying parent : An integrative review

Aim: To identify and synthesize the evidence base regarding children and adolescents' preferences for support when living with a dying parent. Design: Integrative literature review study. Methods: Searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, Sociological Abstracts and Scopus, between 1 October 2019 and May 2021. Data were analysed and synthesized using integrative thematic analysis according to the analysis stages specified by Whittermore and Knafl. Results: Twenty-two articles were identified. Children and adolescents' preferences for support were described through one overarching theme, Striving to achieve control and balance, together with six subthemes; "Involvement in the sick parent's care and treatment"; "Wanting to be with the sick parent but needing respite"; "Information must be continuous and individually adapted"; "emotional and communicative support from parents and family members"; "professional, compassionate and informative support"; and "support in friendships and opportunities to maintain normality."
