Insights

Existing guidelines for pediatric psycho-oncology psychosocial care are insufficient. A comprehensive, evidence-based standard is needed to ensure quality care for children with cancer and their families.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Psycho-Oncology
  • Healthcare Standards

Background:

  • Psychosocial care is crucial for children with cancer.
  • Standardized care can improve outcomes and create replicable models.
  • Identifying gaps in current standards is essential for developing better guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify existing guidelines, standards, or consensus-based reports for psychosocial care of children with cancer.
  • To determine gaps in current pediatric psycho-oncology standards.

Main Methods:

  • Searched MEDLINE and PubMed databases for relevant literature.
  • Included peer-reviewed articles published between 1980 and 2013.
  • Focused on guidelines, consensus reports, and standards for pediatric cancer psychosocial care.

Main Results:

  • Located 27 articles meeting inclusion criteria (5 standards, 19 guidelines, 3 consensus reports).
  • None of the identified resources were sufficiently up-to-date, comprehensive, specific, or evidence-based.
  • Significant gaps exist in current standards for psychosocial care in pediatric oncology.

Conclusions:

  • Despite recognized need, a comprehensive, evidence-based standard for psychosocial care is lacking.
  • Development of a widely acceptable standard is required to guide essential psychosocial services.
  • Further research and consensus-building are necessary to establish robust standards.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
