Abstract
This article, although not systematically, presents a state of the art of the existing theoretical and empirical literature on parental overprotection in families with a child suffering from cancer. We address the characteristics of overprotection as well as the question of whether this parenting behavior can be adaptive or deleterious for the child in this specific situation. This review also identifies some family and societal factors that may promote overprotection in mothers and fathers and highlights the importance of the broader family and societal context when studying parenting in pediatric oncology.
Résumé
Cet article, bien que non exhaustif, présente un état actuel des connaissances empiriques et théoriques sur la surprotection parentale dans des familles où l’enfant est atteint d’un cancer. Nous abordons les caractéristiques de cette surprotection ainsi que la question de sa fonction adaptative et ses effets potentiellement délétères sur l’enfant dans ce contexte spécifique. Cette revue identifie également certains facteurs familiaux et sociétaux qui peuvent promouvoir la surprotection chez les mères et les pères, soulignant l’importance du contexte familial et sociétal dans l’étude des pratiques parentales en oncologie pédiatrique.
