The effect of a malignant disease in pediatric patients on their siblings represents an underestimated phenomenon and care for siblings is at least in some aspects discriminated in the current ―comprehensive‖ strategy of cancer treatment. Our presentation describes the project ―Psychosocial needs and quality of life of healthy siblings of pediatric cancer patients‖ (GAČR, 406/09/1255) that aims to describe quality of life of healthy siblings of pediatric oncology patients in Czech Republic and develop a suited psycho-educational intervention program for early psychological help (giving proper information, development of communication in the family, coping skills etc.). The parent and child form of the CBCL, Youth self – report (YSR), MMQL and QoL questionnaire was used to assess QoL and emotional behavioral functioning in 30 siblings before and after the intervention. Group and individual interventions were performed.
