Introduction
Men raising children by themselves after their spouses or partners have died from cancer face distinctive challenges adapting to single parenthood while managing their grief and the grief of their children.
Purpose of the article
The purpose of this article is to describe the creation and implementation of a peer support group for fathers recently widowed because of their wives’ deaths from cancer.
Conclusion
Group members suggested that they benefited from participation in the support group and that this form of psychosocial support is a promising intervention for fathers in similar circumstances.
Nursing Implications to the APN role
There are numerous support groups out there providing support and counseling for a wide array of issues. Losing a partner to cancer is devastating both for the husband as well as for the children.
ABSTRACT #15 AND #16
The role of the APN is to help them get over this difficult state by being an active listener and by providing comfort. The APN must assess and improve as necessary, the husband’s coping skills and support system. Employee Assistance programs, (EAP’s), can be utilized to help with many of the issues that the family members will encounter.
The husband needs to adjust to a loss in income that may be associated with the loss of his partner. The APN needs to assist the husband to obtain education them about financial planning and to direct them to agencies and support groups that can provide financial help at low costs or free of charge. There is a myriad of agencies that can help and it is important that the APN learn of them.
A very helpful support group for fathers who lost their wives due to cancer is Single Fathers Due to Cancer and the APN should encourage husbands to join the group attend their meetings or such meetings offered in their community through The Cancer society or health care facilities. The APN will encourage and discuss with the husbands ideas to review to attend to their children, in the light of support groups or therapy sessions as needed as they are also affected by the loss of their mother.
