A child's cancer diagnosis has a significant impact on the lives of grandparents. Grandparents experience the stress of worrying about both their adult children and their grandchildren. Our study aimed to explore the lived experience of grandparents of children diagnosed with cancer. A qualitative design involving semi-structured interviews was used and data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Twenty grandparents aged 41 to 77 years were interviewed. Six themes were identified: (a) Diagnosis: changing everything; (b) Aspects of treatment: A different world; (c) Sandwich generation; (d) Family: Worrying about everyone; (e) Balancing work; and (f) It's like suddenly a door opens. Our study demonstrates the life-changing impact of having a grandchild diagnosed with cancer. It expands on existing knowledge and shows that, due to an aging population and demographic changes, some grandparents must juggle the demands of caring for aging family members and working while supporting adult children and grandchildren.
儿童癌症诊断对祖父母的生活有重大影响。祖父母承受着对成年子女和孙辈的担忧的压力。我们的研究旨在探讨被诊断患有癌症的儿童的祖父母的生活体验。采用定性设计，包括半结构化访谈，使用反思性主题分析进行数据分析。采访了 20 名年龄在 41 至 77 岁的祖父母。确定了六个主题：(a)诊断：一切都变了；(b)治疗方面：一个不同的世界；(c)夹心一代；(d)家庭：担心每个人；(e)平衡工作；(f)就像突然一扇门打开了。我们的研究表明，有一个孙子被诊断患有癌症会改变生活。它扩展了现有知识，并表明，由于人口老龄化和人口结构变化，一些祖父母必须在照顾年迈的家庭成员、工作和支持成年子女和孙辈之间取得平衡。
