When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family, including siblings, lives in fear of how the cancer will affect the sick child and how it will influence other family members. The aim of this article is to describe the experiences expressed by the siblings in a support group environment when their families have or have had a child diagnosed with cancer. Fifteen siblings 8 to 19 years of age with a brother or sister who was receiving treatment for or had died from cancer were interviewed after participating in therapeutic support groups. These interviews were conducted two weeks after the last group interaction and were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Regardless of gender and age, the siblings felt a sense of belonging and comfort by being in a group, which they appreciated. They were able to share their experiences and help each other with advice and encouragement. They all drew strength from each other. A therapeutic support group for siblings of children with cancer is beneficial. Follow-up interviews with the siblings indicated they found the groups helpful in coping with their situation.
当一个孩子被诊断出患有癌症时，整个家庭，包括兄弟姐妹，都会生活在恐惧之中，担心癌症会如何影响患病的孩子，以及它将如何影响其他家庭成员。本文的目的是描述当家庭中有孩子被诊断出患有癌症时，兄弟姐妹在支持小组环境中所表达的经历。15名年龄在8至19岁之间的兄弟姐妹，他们的兄弟姐妹正在接受癌症治疗或已因癌症去世，在参加治疗性支持小组后接受了采访。这些采访在最后一次小组互动两周后进行，并采用定性内容分析法进行分析。无论性别和年龄，这些兄弟姐妹都因身处一个他们所珍视的小组而有归属感和舒适感。他们能够分享自己的经历，并通过建议和鼓励互相帮助。他们都从彼此身上汲取力量。为患有癌症儿童的兄弟姐妹设立的治疗性支持小组是有益的。对这些兄弟姐妹的后续采访表明，他们发现这些小组有助于应对自己的处境。
