The sample consisted of 70 mothers living in Mashhad; the children of 35 mothers were diagnosed with cancer within the previous 1 month, and the children of 35 mothers were diagnosed with cancer 6 to 12 months earlier. The instrument was Marwit and Meuser Caregiver Inventory: Childhood Cancer. For data analysis in addition to the procedures of descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation), inferential statistics (MANOVA) has been used.
Results: The results of MANOVA revealed that there is a significant difference between the anticipatory grief of mothers of children diagnosed with cancer within the previous 1 month and those diagnosed 6-12 months earlier.
Conclusion: Mothers of children recently diagnosed with cancer need to receive adequate support interventions.
