Identify the Problem The Uncertainty Study Research Presentation Spring 2015
Identifying The Problem Illness Uncertainty Illness uncertainty increases the risk for psychological distress for years following diagnosis for both patients and parents. Parents of children with new cancer diagnosis are confronted with: 1 2 3 Ambiguous Complex Unpredictability Physical Treatment Regarding Symptoms Regimens Survival The Uncertainty Study Research Presentation Spring 2015
