The implementation of intervention programs leads to the development of parental skills and positive outcomes for children in terms of understanding their parents’ cancer, developing coping mechanisms, improving parent-child communication and relationships, and empowering the family to cope with cancer.

Objective:

To map the available intervention programs for children, adolescents, and parents experiencing parental cancer (patients with cancer).

Review method:

Scoping review methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The process of data analysis, extraction, and synthesis will be performed by independent reviewers.

Presentation and interpretation of results:

Mapping the programs will allow identifying the interventions developed by health professionals for children, adolescents, and parents experiencing parental cancer.

Conclusion:

The review resulting from this protocol will allow selecting the best interventions for designing a nursing intervention program for adolescents and parents experiencing parental cancer.
