Summary

When a child is diagnosed with cancer the family's world is turned upside down. Parents have high levels of stress because they must learn important information about their child's diagnosis,medications and treatments. They must also learn how to care for their child once they have left the safety of the hospital. Parents have voiced that during this time they receive too much information, have paper overload, and hear and read different information causing them to feel confused. Parents have shared that small amounts of information that can be repeated when they want and as often as they want helps them to feel more confident to care for their child. This study will ask parents if they like and can easily learn information about how to care for their child with cancer from short videos that highlight key points, have visual cues, and provide case examples. If parents find short videos useful and helpful for learning, with the goal that they will feel more confident to care for their child and have lower levels of anxiety.
