Description
An account of the resource
Background: Legacy-making (actions/behaviors aimed at being remembered) may be a significant component for quality of life (QOL) during advanced illness and end of life. Although legacy interventions have been tested in adults, the impact of legacy activities on QOL for children has yet to be clearly defined. Objective: This study examined the impact of our newly developed web-based legacy intervention on dimensions of QOL among children (7-17 years old) with advanced cancer. Design: This single-site randomized clinical trial (RCT) used a two-group waitlist control design. The legacy intervention guided children to create digital storyboards by directing them to answer legacy questions about themselves (personal characteristics, things they like to do, and connectedness with others) and upload photographs, video, and music. Setting/Subjects: Facebook advertisements recruited children (ages 7-17) with relapsed/refractory cancer and their parents from the United States. Child-parent dyads (N = 150) were randomized to the intervention or usual care group, and 97 dyads were included for analysis. Measurements: Children and parents completed the PedsQL Cancer Module preintervention (T1) and post-intervention (T2). Results: Although not statistically significant, legacy-making demonstrated small effects in child procedural anxiety and perceived physical appearance (Cohen's d 0.35-0.28) compared to the wait-list control group. Conclusions: This study contributes important discoveries, including support for the feasibility of a RCT web-based legacy intervention for children with advanced cancer. We did not find convincing evidence supporting the hypothesis that legacy-making improved child dimensions of QOL across time. Overall, this is a null study that warrants discussion on possible reasons for limited findings. Future legacy intervention research is needed using qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as child and parent reports, to determine how such services may improve dimensions of QOL for pediatric palliative care populations. ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT04059393.

Description
An account of the resource
While overall survival has improved significantly for children with cancer over the past 75 years, cancer remains the leading cause of death from disease among children and adolescents. Further, despite the many advances in medical and nursing care, children with cancer still experience significant physical and emotional suffering over the course of their illness, especially at the end of life (EOL). Children endure significant rates of high-intensity medical interventions (e.g., intubation, intensive care unit admission) at the EOL despite many parents, adolescents, and young adult patients identifying home as their preferred location of death. Hospice care has the potential to ease suffering at the EOL and facilitate home deaths, and yet, most children still die in acute care settings without hospice care. Numerous barriers prevent timely enrollment in hospice among children with cancer who are in the EOL period. This report describes the development and testing of a palliative care/EOL communication intervention designed to overcome some of these barriers and improve EOL outcomes (i.e., earlier hospice enrollment, less use of high-intensity medical interventions, reduced pain and suffering) among children with cancer and their parents (i.e., less emotional distress and uncertainty, improved hope and healthcare satisfaction).
