Models of care that incorporate child health and paediatric cancer care have been established. Publication of the recent report by the Expert Advisory Group on Cancer (Calman-Hine 1995) in the UK has prompted a fundamental review of all cancer services within the National Health Service (NHS). One of the main recommendations of this report is that Cancer Centres working with local District General Hospital Trusts and the Primary Care Sector produce standardized treatment plans and referral protocols. This concept is the foundation of the model of care in paediatric oncology; consequently, service provision for children and teenagers with cancer is mentioned briefly within this report. The established model of care is perceived as effective. Overall, this paper intends to present a perspective on paediatric oncology nursing for adult cancer nurses, a perspective that will be illuminated and examined further as cancer nurses communicate via future publications within this journal. This is done with the expectation that communication and collaboration with colleagues within the field of adult cancer nursing will assist both disciplines in further advancement within their respective specialty areas, particularly in light of the recommendations put forward by the <span>Expert Advisory Group on Cancer (1995)</span>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100758,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Nursing","volume":"1 4","pages":"Pages 200-207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1364-9825(97)80520-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91683921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assessment of pain in children is a multifaceted process. Their response to pain is both behavioural and physiological. In addition, the changing developmental levels of children complicate the assessment process. Paediatric care providers must use their knowledge of a child's cognitive abilities, developmental level and the nature of childhood pain to accurately assess an individual child's pain. Paediatric oncology nurses play an important role in the assessment and management of pain. Literature suggests that pain in children is often poorly assessed and undertreated due to a lack of knowledge and misconceptions. The purpose of this study is to explore the current knowledge and attitudes of paediatric nurses regarding pain in children with cancer in The Netherlands. Questionnaires were sent to 252 nurses in 7 hospitals. The questionnaire included demographic questions, and questions or nurses' knowledge of pain, attitudes towards childrens' reports of pain, nurses' perception of the effectiveness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain-relief interventions and pain-relief interventions they use. A total of 174 (69%) nurses responded. Findings indicate that the majority of the nurses have a sufficient knowledge base regarding pain in children. However, a distressing factor is that their knowledge of the effectiveness of pain-relief interventions does not reflect the interventions they use. Although nurses may know that a specific intervention is effective, they fail to put it into practice. Demographic factors, like age, education or work experience had no influence on the nurses' knowledge or application of their interventions. Further studies need to examine the cause of the discrepancy between knowledge and practical application of pain-relief interventions. It is vital that paediatric oncology nurses should not only be educated in knowledge of pain and pain interventions, but should also be stimulated to use these interventions in daily practice. Only then will this ensure that adequate pain control in children with cancer is achieved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100758,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Nursing","volume":"1 4","pages":"Pages 171-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1364-9825(97)80515-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91240774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In paediatric oncology, it is only relatively recently that it has been highlighted due to a stronger emphasis on quality of life. Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to the many traumas surrounding altered body image because they are negotiating a challenging phase of life. The need to conform and their preoccupation with appearances means that the way they present themselves to the world is highly significant. In addition, coming to terms with their own sexuality permeates many aspects of their lives and causes much consternation. Teenagers are striving to find equilibrium in life and part of that is to develop a more positive body image with an accompanying improvement in self-concept. Cancer and its treatment therefore poses a major threat to teenagers, and nurses need to be able to understand their underlying unrest as well as the stigma associated with altered body image. Young adult clinics are helping to provide a focus for the care of this age group.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100758,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Nursing","volume":"1 4","pages":"Pages 177-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1364-9825(97)80516-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89699767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
