Abstract

Background: Mindfulness is our innate capacity to pay full, conscious, and compassionate attention to something in the moment. It is also a skill that can be strengthened by mental practice. More recently, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are identified within clinical practice guidelines as an intervention in the treatment of certain symptoms for children with cancer. However, there is little guidance available on the practice of using MBIs in the pediatric oncology population. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of mindfulness, highlights symptoms where mindfulness practices may be of benefit, identifies trauma-sensitive considerations, and provides examples of MBIs that may be considered in the context of pediatric oncology. Methods: Collaboration of expert opinion, which included The Mindfulness Project Team, has enabled this collective informative paper. Results: Mindfulness has been recommended to help with the symptom of fatigue in children with cancer. Emotional symptoms such as anxiety, sadness, and anger may also benefit from the use of MBIs. Ideal MBIs for this population may include mindful movement, mindfulness of the senses, mindfulness of breath, mindfulness of emotions, and the body scan. These approaches can easily be adapted according to the age of the child. Many approaches have been administered with minimal training, with very few requiring a facilitator. However, hospitals have started to incorporate mindfulness experts within their care provision. Conclusion: Future research should continue to investigate the use of MBI programs for children with cancer.

接受癌症治疗的儿童和青少年的正念练习。
背景:正念是我们与生俱来的一种能力,能够在当下对某件事给予充分的、有意识的、富有同情心的关注。这也是一种可以通过心理练习来加强的技能。最近,基于正念的干预(MBIs)在临床实践指南中被确定为治疗癌症儿童某些症状的干预措施。然而,在儿科肿瘤人群中使用mbi的实践指导很少。本文的目的是提供正念的概述,强调正念练习可能有益的症状,识别创伤敏感因素,并提供可能在儿科肿瘤学背景下考虑的mbi示例。方法:专家意见的合作,包括正念项目团队,使这篇集体信息论文成为可能。结果:正念被推荐用于帮助癌症患儿缓解疲劳症状。焦虑、悲伤和愤怒等情绪症状也可能受益于MBIs的使用。对于这一人群来说,理想的mbi可能包括正念运动、感官正念、呼吸正念、情绪正念和身体扫描。这些方法可以很容易地根据孩子的年龄进行调整。许多方法的实施只需要很少的培训,很少需要一个促进者。然而,医院已经开始将正念专家纳入他们的护理服务中。结论:未来的研究应继续调查MBI计划在癌症儿童中的应用。
