PurposeTo evaluate how parents viewed the authors' practice of audiotaping the initial communication of the leukemia diagnosis and of the complete program of care, including the prognosis.MethodsFrom January 1997 through December 1998, at the end of the formal communication interview, parents were asked to evaluate the audiotaping by filling out a questionnaire concerning the procedure.ResultsSixty-three parents of children with leukemia participated.ConclusionsThe authors' use of audiotapes was strongly supported by the parents as a supplementary intervention and has become a routine procedure.
