Psycho-Oncologie

Résumé

La dynamique familiale est un élément essentiel à prendre en considération lorsque l’on aborde le cancer pédiatrique et notamment l’adaptation de la fratrie saine. Cependant, les recherches sur la fratrie restent insuffisantes et les frères et soeurs de l’enfant malade sont trop souvent négligés dans la prise en charge de la maladie. De cette manière, cet article se propose de faire un état des lieux des connaissances sur les bouleversements opérés au sein du système familial lorsqu’un cancer est diagnostiqué chez un membre de la fratrie.

Abstract

Family dynamism, in particular, sibling adaptation is essential when talking about childhood cancer. Although, research concerning the sibling is still insufficient, the brothers and sisters of a sick child are too often neglected. This article reviews knowledge on the disruption of family functioning of childhood cancer patients.
