Conditions studied: Illness Terminal

In brief

The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the effects and the implementation process of the Family Talk Intervention (FTI) in clinical practice when a child or a parent of dependent children has a life-threatening/life-limiting illness (cancer, neurological diseases, etc.). During 2021, FTI will be implemented in several different care contexts including a children's hospital and a university hospital in Sweden. Social workers will be educated in using the FTI in their clinical work. This study has a pre-post effectiveness-implementation hybrid design using mixed method. Data collection will be made using web-based questionnaires and interviews with families and social workers, and observations will be performed throughout the study.
