In line with this purpose, face to face interviews were conducted with 24 parents and 12 siblings from 12 families. Data were analyzed through inductive content analysis approach. Themes and sub-themes that formed support sources and coping strategies were identified according to the analyses results. Accordingly, support sources were composed of the themes such as internal family strengths, extended family support, health team, social support, workplace support, and support from the institutions and organizations. Coping strategies included themes such as appraisal-focused, problem-focused, and emotion-focused themes.

Bu amaç için ölçüt örneklemeyle belirlenen, 12 aileden 24 ebeveyn ve 12 kardeş ile yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tümevarım yoluyla ve içerik analizi yaklaşımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre destek kaynakları ve başa çıkma stratejilerini oluşturan tema ve alt temalar belirlenmiştir. Buna göre destek kaynakları; aile içi güçler, geniş aile desteği, sağlık ekibi, toplumsal destek, iş yeri desteği ve kurum-kuruluşların desteği temalarından oluşmuştur. Başa çıkma stratejileri ise değerlendirme-odaklı, problem-odaklı ve duygu-odaklı başa çıkma temalarını içermektedir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma, ailelere yönelik koruyucu ve destekleyici müdahalelerin tıbbi sağlık hizmet veren profesyonelleri de kapsayacak şekilde planlanması konusunda önemli ipuçları ortaya koymuştur.
