Abstract: Objective To investigate the influence of support and intervention technique with multi-dimensions on uncertainty in illness for cancer children′s parents. Methods With convenience sampling method, a total of 74 cases of hematological malignant and solid tumor patients′ parents in Hematology and Tumor Centre of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University were selected. There were 35 cases in the intervention group, which were given multi-dimension-support and intervention technique for 8 weeks as well as regular chemotherapy and nursing care. There were 39 cases in the control group, who were only given regular chemotherapy and nursing care. The level of uncertainty in illness in both groups were evaluated after 8 weeks of the base-line investigation. Results The scores of uncertainty in illness reduced over time in both groups (F=95.402,P<0.01). After 8 weeks, the scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group (F=24.079,P < 0.01). Conclusions The all-round, multi-dimension and real-time techniques of support and intervention could decrease the level of uncertainty in illness for cancer children′s parents.
