Scoping review reveals inconclusive evidence for psychosocial interventions targeting traumatic stress in pediatric cancer caregivers, highlighting the need for rigorous randomized trials.

High quality RCTs that include a diverse group of family caregivers are needed to demonstrate their effectiveness and to inform clinical care practices aimed at improving family wellbeing.
