Abstract

Abstract Introduction Palliative care of children (PCC) is a philosophical and a structured approach to providing tailored care to children with life-threatening diseases. Understanding the role of nurses and empowering them to take up the role of palliative care nurse are imperative to strengthen these services and make the palliative care services more accessible to the patients. Method The literature search was done in two database, PubMed and Scopus, using keyword and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms such as children, palliative care, end of life, hospice, bereavement, and nursing. Records were screened by authors and relevant articles were included in the review. Discussion PCC should start with the diagnosis of the illness continue through all the phases of illness. Bereavement support to the family is also a part of palliative care. Nurses are in a key position to play important role in the PCC team. Nurses play various roles such as direct care provider, communicator, patient advocate, respite nurse, and counselor. Conclusion PCC is aimed to improve the quality of life of the child and family. It is crucial to achieving universal health coverage. Role of nurse is vital in providing PCC.

为儿童提供姑息性护理的护理视角——叙述性回顾

儿童姑息治疗(PCC)是一种哲学和结构化的方法，为患有危及生命的疾病的儿童提供量身定制的护理。了解护士的作用并使她们能够承担姑息治疗护士的角色，对于加强这些服务并使患者更容易获得姑息治疗服务至关重要。方法采用儿童、姑息治疗、临终关怀、临终关怀、丧亲之痛、护理等关键词和医学主题词(MeSH)，在PubMed和Scopus数据库中进行文献检索。作者对记录进行筛选，并将相关文章纳入综述。PCC的讨论应该从疾病的诊断开始，贯穿疾病的所有阶段。对家属的丧亲支持也是姑息治疗的一部分。护士在PCC团队中处于关键位置，发挥着重要作用。护士扮演着直接护理提供者、沟通者、病人倡导者、临时护士和咨询师等多种角色。结论PCC的目的是改善患儿及家庭的生活质量。这对实现全民健康覆盖至关重要。护士的作用在提供PCC中是至关重要的。
