Cancer treatment for children is a challenging medical procedure that impacts children and their parents. The emotional distress of parents during the cancer treatment of their child is an important consideration that could impact the treatment of the child as well as the outcome. Explanations about how reframing of beliefs decreases parental distress has been limited to summative assessment processes using multiple interventions rather than formative assessment. The problem occurs when examining the lived experiences of parents after their beliefs have been reframed, we do not know what lived experiences of parents are and are unable to develop emerging themes for further study. The purpose of this interpretive phenomenological inquiry was to discover how formative assessment can be effectively used to understand the route by which a reframing beliefs exercise could result in changing perceptions and beliefs, which is a strategy that might reduce distress. Participants included eight parents whose children are completed with treatment or within one month of completion. Findings of the study revealed that all participants felt the worksheet exercise of reframing beliefs was helpful and how their feelings of adversity went from negative to positive. Additional findings included information on the adverse events and how distress was experienced. Afraid of death was a theme that was broken out into two sub-themes of afraid for child and school environment. Afraid of losing their own child was a theme that was a lived experience response from all participants. The theme had to be strong was the response to the question about how the participants experienced distress, three sub-themes emerged. Had to be strong for child, had to be strong for self and another parent and communication with the staff for direction were identified with importance. The last sub-theme of communication with staff for direction was a lived response that is important for healthcare professionals to be aware of. The findings of this study identified emerging themes from the lived experiences of parents whose children had been in cancer treatment and or were in the last month of completion of treatment. Future research should involve an additional understanding of how a reframing beliefs exercise could affect and benefit parents whose children are in cancer treatment.
