Objective To explore the psychological experience of cancer patients in informing their minor children (MC) of cancer diagnosis,and to provide a reference for formulating relevant intervention measures. Methods By purposive sampling method,14 cancer patients in a tertiary hospital from March to June 2022 were selected.The semi-structured interviews were conducted using the phenomenological research method.The Colaizzi 7-step analysis was adopted to analyze the data. Results Most cancer patients experienced a process from not informing to informing their minor children of the disease diagnosis.The psychological experience could be summarized into five themes:the reasons for choosing not to inform,facing difficulties by concealing the illness,thinking before informing the patient’s condition,perceived benefits after condition notification,and negative psychological experience after informing the patient’s condition. Conclusions Cancer patients often choose to hide their illness because they are worried about the adverse effects of the disease on their children’s health,and they will face many difficulties in this process.Medical staff should strengthen their attention to such groups,and help them choose the right time and way to communicate with their children,therefore better playing the positive role of family function in promoting disease treatment.
