“You really need a whole community”: a qualitative study of mothers’ need for and experiences with childcare support during cancer treatment and recovery

Purpose

A cancer diagnosis poses unique challenges for moms with young children who must balance illness-management alongside existing paid (e.g., employment) and unpaid (e.g., domestic/caregiving) work. The goal of this study was to improve understanding of the support needs of mothers living with cancer and their experiences receiving psychosocial and childcare support from a community organization, the Nanny Angel Network (now Nankind).
