Abstract

Meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials on psychological interventions for parents of children with cancer. Showed significant post-treatment effect for depression (d=1.19), though methodological quality moderated this effect. Other outcomes (anxiety, stress, quality of life) were not statistically significant. Authors highlight methodological limitations and the need for higher quality studies.
