What it does not show
The work comes from a Portuguese oncology hospital setting, so it may not fit other services. The studies that checked whether the adolescent and parent frameworks fit were done with a single participant. The model has not been implemented, so no patient outcomes are reported.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that the model improves family adjustment. The model has not been implemented, so no patient outcomes are reported.
