Objective To explore the efficacy of group play therapy combined with shared reading on the mental coping capability of children with cancer. Methods Fifty-eight children with cancer were selected from four first-class hospitals in Tangshan, and were randomly assigned to intervention group(n=30)and control group(n=28).Children in intervention group received play therapy combined with shared reading for 3 months, while those in control group did not.The Coping With a Disease (CODI) was used to investigate the children's coping style before and after intervention between two groups. Results Compared with control group, the scores in wishful thinking, emotional reaction, distance and acceptance increased, and in avoidance and cognitive-palliative decreased in intervention group after intervention (P<0.05).The scores in control group did not differ before and after intervention (P>0.05). Conclusion Play therapy combined with shared reading can result in improvements in mental coping capability of children with cancer.
