Effectiveness of a training program for healthcare professionals on parental cancer: Results of a randomized controlled pilot-study.

This is the first pilot-study evaluating a training for HCPs in oncology on parental cancer using a 3-armed RCT. The 3-h training program is a feasible approach and findings indicate to increase HCPs' knowledge and self-efficacy in caring for cancer patients with minor children. Further research is needed to verify preliminary findings of this pilot study. The study was pre-registered within the German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS-00015794).
