Parents' Distress and Demands for Children With Cancer‐Related Cognitive Impairment in Western China: A Qualitative Study
Parents of children with cancer-related cognitive impairment face a significant psychological burden, coupled with confusion and numerous inquiries regarding the symptoms and management of their children's cognitive impairment. It is imperative for medical professionals to strengthen the dissemination of information related to cancer-associated cognitive impairments, while promptly recognizing and intervening in related symptoms. Rational allocation of resources, establishment of targeted support systems, and enhancement of social acceptance may be the key points that policymakers could consider. These efforts hold immense significance, as they play a pivotal role in elevating cognitive capabilities and enhancing the overall quality of life for children with cancer.
