These themes were emotional experiences, changes, role of social support in coping, and support needs. Fathers experienced fear of death, helplessness, uncertainty, loneliness, and hope. They assumed the role of caregiver in addition to the role of father, spouse, and employee. Their family relationships improved for the sick child and spouse but did not for siblings. It was found that fathers hid their feelings from their families to look strong. Moreover, they had information needs at the beginning and ongoing housing and financial needs. Fathers needed psychological support, and they did not know how to access psychological support services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fathers whose children have cancer experience many emotional difficulties and changes. They have difficulty in expressing their feelings and getting help.
