Title: July/Aug 2021 Parent Caregiving Experiences and Posttraumatic Growth Following Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell TransplantÂ
Author(s): Nicole B. Beckmann, PhD, APRN-CNP, Mary S. Dietrich, PhD, MS, Mary C. Hooke, PhD, APRN, PCNS, CPON, FAAN, Mary J. Gilmer, PhD, MBA, RN-BC, FAAN, and Terrah F. Akard, PhD, RN, CPNP, FAAN Â
Course Overview: This course discusses the experiences of parents as caregivers during their child’s hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and the potential for posttraumatic growth (PTG) that may arise from these experiences. Caregiver experiences and responsibilities can lead to increased comfort with healthcare teams, decreased treatment-related stressors, and feelings of guilt when prioritizing self-care, ultimately contributing to PTG. Major themes identified include context, coping strategies, and the need for social support, with effective coping strategies being crucial for adapting to the unpredictable nature of HSCT.Â

- Discuss how caregiver experiences and responsibilities contribute to posttraumatic growthÂ
