JOPHON Courses offer continuing education created from JOPHON, APHON’s acclaimed journal. These courses feature original, peer-reviewed research aimed at enhancing clinical nursing care for children and adolescents with cancer and blood disorders, and their families.

This course explores the concept of parental resolution in pediatric oncology, focusing on how parents adapt to and process their child’s cancer diagnosis. Participants will examine the definition and process of resolution, including its impact on parental stress, mental health, and overall quality of life. The curriculum analyzes research methods and findings from recent studies, highlighting the markers of distress and the differences between parents who achieve resolution and those who do not. Learners will evaluate the clinical implications of parental adaptation, considering how resolution supports family-centered care and improves outcomes for both parents and children. Special attention is given to the tools and measures used to assess resolution, as well as the limitations of current research. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to recognize signs of parental distress, understand the journey toward resolution, and apply evidence-based strategies to support families navigating a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
