Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Trauma-Informed Procedural Pain Intervention (TIPPI-R) has been developed as a standardized way to provide education and teach evidence-based strategies for managing pain and distress that may occur during pediatric cancer treatment. The purpose of this clinical trial study is to test how helpful TIPPI-R is in supporting children and families manage pain and distress during the initial stages of cancer treatment. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Does TIPPI-R increase use of helpful pain coping strategies for pediatric cancer patients?
* Does TIPPI-R help lower perceived pain intensity during initial stages of cancer treatment?
* Does TIPPI-R increase patient and family confidence in coping with pain and distress during cancer treatment?

Researchers will compare pain experiences and use of pain coping strategies for families who receive the TIPPI-R intervention and families who receive standard of care to see if TIPPI-R decrease pain and distress during the initial stages of cancer treatment.

Participants will:

* Complete surveys to measure pain and distress within 5 weeks of initial diagnosis (Time 1)
* Either receive the TIPPI-R intervention or standard of care
* Complete surveys to measure pain and distress 4 weeks after initial consent or TIPPI-R intervention delivery (Time 2)

Study Groups

TIPPI-R

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TIPPI-R

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The TIPPI-R intervention protocol consists of a one session, during which time the interventionist offers psychoeducation related to the following content areas: procedural pain related to oncology treatment, factors that may affect the perception of pain, evidenced-based tools for assessing and monitoring pain, cognitive and behavioral pain management interventions, and resources to facilitate family to advocacy for pain management in a medical setting. During this session, the interventionist discusses opportunities for families to utilize skills throughout treatment, and addresses family questions as needed. A follow-up session 4 weeks after the initial intervention session will assess family knowledge and skills and offer a referral for a mental health provider, if further pain management support is needed. TIPPI-R is designed to be delivered by a psychologist, psychology trainee, or social worker working in the oncology context.

Standard of Care

Participants and families in this arm will receive the standard treatment for pain and distress during cancer treatment at each respective institution, which may include psychoeducation and support implementing pain coping skills from mental health providers within the healthcare system.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Delayed Intervention Delivery

Participants will be moved into this arm if they are initially randomized into the intervention arm, but they receive the TIPPI-R intervention outside of the window dictated in the protocol. According to the protocol, consented participants should receive the interventions within 2 weeks of consent. If they do not, the TIPPI-R intervention will still be delivered and the participant will be moved to this arm of the study.
