Description
Birgül Erdoğan and Tuba Arpaci explore school re-entry after childhood cancer from the viewpoint of school staff in Türkiye in a 2026 qualitative study. Returning to class involves catching up academically, rebuilding friendships and managing health limits, yet evidence from teachers and school nurses was scarce. Twelve staff across roles, from teachers to a school nurse, gave online interviews between spring 2025 and early 2026.
Eight themes grouped into adjustment, reintegration and support needs domains. Absence left academic gaps, weakened belonging and peer vulnerability in staff accounts, calling for individual pacing. Help often depended on single motivated adults, with little usable health information, fuzzy role boundaries and weak coordination between school and hospital. Gradual, planned returns with clear communication channels are urged, and oncology nurses are flagged as possible coordinators.
