| Sumario: | PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION: Parents of children with cancer face substantial emotional, social, and practical challenges. Online psychosocial interventions have emerged as a potential means of support, yet the evidence base remains fragmented. LITERATURE SEARCH: A systematic search was conducted across five databases (PsycNET, PubMed®, ProQuest, Social Services Abstracts, and EBSCO). Eligible studies examined online psychosocial interventions, targeted parents or caregivers, and reported empirical findings. DATA EVALUATION: Thematic analysis was applied. SYNTHESIS: Interventions consistently reported high levels of parent satisfaction and addressed diverse psychosocial outcomes, including reductions in posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety, alongside improved coping strategies and family relationships. Key design elements that enhanced effectiveness included flexibility in delivery, tailored approaches, facilitator involvement, proactive recruitment, extended access, and optional support features. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Online psychosocial interventions offer meaningful benefits for parents of children with cancer, alleviating psychological distress and strengthening coping and family bonds.
