  • Title: Father to father: focus groups of fathers of children with cancer.
    Author: Jones JB, Neil-Urban S.
    Journal: Soc Work Health Care; 2003; 37(1):41-61. PubMed ID: 12921405.
    Abstract:
    Caring for a child with cancer is a demanding experience for both parents, yet most research focuses on mothers. In this paper, we present the findings of a secondary analysis of data from a study in which the care-giving experience of fathers is investigated. In two focus groups, ten fathers provided first-hand information about caring for a child with cancer and its impact on their families. In addition, the findings demonstrate how these men through sharing a deeply meaningful and challenging experience offered mutual support and caring. This paper describes the fathers' remarkable and unexpected exchange. Social work implications are also addressed.
