Background/Objectives: Childhood cancer profoundly affects families, particularly parents, who assume demanding caregiving roles associated with significant emotional and social burden that remain underexplored qualitatively. To explore the experiences of parents of children with cancer during the disease process: diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and their child’s progress. Methods: An exploratory qualitative interview study was conducted using individual semi-structured interviews with six parents of children with cancer in Spain. Participants were intentionally recruited through a parent association. Interviews were conducted online, audio- and video-recorded with consent, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke. Sullivan’s interpersonal theory was subsequently used as a conceptual framework to interpret the emerging themes, particularly in relation to interpersonal anxiety, security, emotional regulation, and significant relationships. Results: Six parents were included in the analysis, representing heterogeneous clinical trajectories, including active treatment, remission, and bereavement. Five axes, 12 categories, and 52 codes were identified. Parents described uncertainty and emotional disruption around diagnosis, the coexistence of perceived strength and distress during treatment, changes in family and interpersonal relationships, continuing concerns following remission, and profound grief and continuing bonds following the death of a child. These findings were interpreted through Sullivan’s interpersonal framework. Conclusions: This exploratory study suggests that parents’ experiences of childhood cancer are shaped by changes in interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, perceived security, and support networks across different phases of the illness. The findings highlight potential areas for psychosocial support, although they should be interpreted cautiously given the small and heterogeneous sample.

Background/Objectives: Person-centred care necessitates addressing the growing biopsychosocial vulnerability within public health. This study analysed eating behaviours and sociocultural pressures regarding physical appearance in a convenience sample of adults to help inform potential evidence-based policies and programmes in primary care tailored to these exploratory symptom correlates. Methods: A quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 1287 participants. Data were collected via an online platform using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire (SATAQ-4). Descriptive statistics, bivariate tests, multiple linear regression models, and complementary binary logistic regression models were utilised to identify variables independently associated with scores and clinical risk thresholds (EAT-26 ≥ 20). Results: Multiple linear regression analysis determined that the scores indicating potential risk of altered eating behaviours (EAT-26) was primarily associated with female sex (β = 0.134, p < 0.001), followed by never eating in company (β = 0.149, p < 0.001), an active lifestyle (β = 0.094, p = 0.001), excessive social media usage (β = 0.088, p = 0.002), and smoking (β = 0.091, p = 0.001). Likewise, susceptibility to sociocultural pressures (SATAQ-4) showed a major association with excessive digital connectivity (β = 0.159, p < 0.001), female sex (β = 0.094, p = 0.001), smoking (β = 0.078, p = 0.004), both sometimes and never eating in company (β = 0.078, p = 0.008 and β = 0.082, p = 0.005 respectively), and younger age (β = −0.202, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the binary logistic sensitivity analysis confirmed that a high clinical risk score (≥20) was independently associated with female sex (Exp(B) = 2.660), smoking (Exp(B) = 2.381), never eating alone (Exp(B) = 2.253), excessive social media use (Exp(B) = 1.665), being active (Exp(B) = 1.500), a greater number of children (Exp(B) = 1.402), and younger age (Exp(B) = 0.969). Conclusions: Due to the non-probabilistic convenience nature of the sample, these findings cannot be directly generalized to the general population; however, they delineate the vulnerable demographic profile—young, active, female smokers who are frequent social media users and habitually eat alone—which may help generate hypotheses for future primary care prevention strategies. Furthermore, these results underscore the potential value of integrating specific screening considerations and digital literacy into person-centred healthcare, pending longitudinal validation.

Background: The historical fracture between biomedical positivism and social constructivism has perpetuated an epistemic schizophrenia, reducing the human body either to a molecular machine (Körper) or to a discursive epiphenomenon, thus obscuring the structural roots of illness. This study establishes a rigorous metatheoretical framework to overcome this fragmentation. Methods: We employ a dialectical-transdisciplinary epistemological matrix—integrating Peircean abduction and negative dialectics as vectors of conceptual translation—to map the intersection between natural/medical sciences and social theories without falling into reductionisms. Results: The analysis demonstrates that health and illness constitute stratified complex wholes where structural violence and biological somatization (such as allostatic load) co-determine one another. Likewise, it deconstructs the technocratic neutrality of the medical model, proving that clinical practice must reintegrate the lived body (Leib). Conclusions: We propose an innovative paradigm—Transdisciplinary Enactive Realism—that bridges empirical evidence and hermeneutic meaning, providing a holistic, critical, and humanized foundation for contemporary sociosanitary ecosystems.
