How Classmates Experience Visiting Their Hospitalised Peer During Cancer Treatment: A <scp>RESPECT</scp> Study
Enhances knowledge of supporting social relationships between hospitalised children and their classmates during cancer treatment. However, the RESPECT study is rooted in the Danish cultural context, where it is common to attend local volunteer activities after school. Although getting diagnosed with a life-threatening illness such as cancer may be difficult to talk about with peers and even a taboo in some countries, we do expect that interventions with structured possibilities for social interactions are an important step towards normalisation of communicating about childhood cancer.
