This review aimed to explore how wish-granting interventions impact on the health and well-being of children with life-threatening health conditions and their families, using any study design. Six electronic databases (Medline; PsycINFO; CINAHL; Embase; AMED and HMIC) were systematically searched to identify eligible research articles. Studies were critically appraised using a Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Findings were synthesized narratively. 10 papers were included, reporting studies conducted across five countries, published from 2007 to 2019. Study designs were diverse (four quantitative; two qualitative and four mixed method). Results indicated improvements to physical and mental health, quality of life, social well-being, resilience and coping for wish children, parents and siblings. In conclusion, wish-granting interventions can positively impact health and therefore should not be discouraged; however, more research is needed to define and quantify the impact of wish fulfilment and to understand how it can be maximized.
本综述旨在探讨许愿干预对患有危及生命的健康状况的儿童及其家庭的健康和福祉的影响，使用任何研究设计。系统地检索了六个电子数据库（Medline；PsycINFO；CINAHL；Embase；AMED 和 HMIC）以确定符合条件的研究文章。使用混合方法评估工具对研究进行了批判性评估。研究结果以叙述性方式进行了综合。纳入了 10 篇论文，报告了来自五个国家的研究，发表于 2007 年至 2019 年。研究设计多种多样（四项定量；两项定性和四项混合方法）。结果表明，许愿儿童、父母和兄弟姐妹的身心健康、生活质量、社会福利、适应力和应对能力都有所改善。总之，许愿干预可以对健康产生积极影响，因此不应被劝阻；然而，需要进一步的研究来定义和量化愿望实现的影响，并了解如何最大限度地实现愿望。
