Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This project aims to assess the feasibility of an intervention program consisting of parent online group sessions in addition to guided individual play session between parent, child, and occupational therapy student (OTS) or an occupational therapist (OT). The investigators speculate that the Promoting Health Through Play Opportunities program will be effective in improving: 1. Parent ability to support their child's playfulness as measured during 15-minute video-recorded joint play activity at home using the Parent/Caregiver Support of Childre Playfulness \[PC-SCP\]. 2. Child's playfulness behavior as measured during 15-minute video-recorded joint play activity at home using the Test of Playfulness \[ToP\]. 3. Child's psychological adjustment as measured by the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire \[SDQ\]. 4. Parent's perception and satisfaction from their involvement in the program as measured through open-ended questions.
