Adult sibling-related experiences while caring for a parent diagnosed with a blood cancer.

Discussion: Findings illustrate how a parent’s blood cancer diagnosis can enhance the sibling bond and family system as well as contribute to tension, particularly regarding the experiences of not sharing caregiving tasks or having divergent approaches to coping. Findings also provide insight into areas in which supportive interventions or resources are needed (e.g., helping siblings talk about caregiving involvement) to promote healthy family functioning after a blood cancer diagnosis.
