Trauma-Informed Procedural Pain Intervention: Refinement of an Evidence-Based Protocol

Summary

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)
