Abstract
The problem that motivated the study was that siblings of children with cancer
may experience the relationships within the family differently after cancer
treatment. The purpose was to investigate and describe how family dynamics are
experienced by the siblings of a cancer patient after his/her treatment for cancer.
The research methodology includes qualitative research of an explorative and
descriptive nature. Data were collected through unstructured interviews with
siblings of children who had received treatment for cancer. From this data eight
categories were identified accordingly. Although the data do not indicate that
siblings experienced family dynamics after treatment as problematic, as
expected, the information contributes by making parents of cancer patients more
aware of the siblings' emotions and needs.
