What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of personalized nursing care for parents of pediatric oncology patients using the Professional Values Model. It involves a randomized controlled trial with 70 parents, split into intervention and control groups, at Akdeniz University Hospital.

Data will be collected using specific questionnaires to assess health care satisfaction and values.

Good fit: Ideal candidates are parents of children aged 1-18 years who are hospitalized for cancer treatment and can communicate in Turkish.
Not a fit: Parents who do not speak or understand Turkish may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the emotional and psychological well-being of parents caring for children with cancer.
How similar studies have performed: While individualized nursing care has been explored in various contexts, this specific application for parents of pediatric oncology patients is relatively novel.
