Fear, coping and support- from the perspective of children aged 10-17-year old having acute lymphoblastic leukemia

CONCLUSIONS: Children aged 10 to 17 undergoing treatment for ALL experience various fears. Each experience is individual and changes over time, but there are common patterns. Most children used problem-solving or emotional-regulation strategies, but withdrawal was also reported. Even children who can deal with fear need support from their health care professionals, families, and friends.PMID:38324664 | PMC:PMC10851796 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2310147
