Psychosocial functioning and risk factors among siblings of children with cancer: An updated systematic review
ConclusionDespite methodological limitations, research indicates a strong need for sibling support. Clinical recommendations include identifying at‐risk siblings and developing interventions to facilitate family communication and increase siblings’ social support, cancer‐related knowledge, and treatment involvement. Future longitudinal studies focusing on mechanisms and moderators of siblings’ adjustment would inform timing and targets of psychosocial care.
