It is thus necessary to promote family resilience for the effective treatment and quality of life improvement among children with cancer. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the components of a resilience-promoting program for children with cancer and their families and to synthesize the literature findings on the outcomes of the resilience-promoting program. Method: A systematic search of the literature was conducted using five databases (PubMed, CHIAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Research Information Sharing Service) up to July 22, 2020. The search was limited to studies published in English and Korean, and to grey literature published in Korea. Studies were critically appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Extracted data were summarized as tables. Results: Eight studies were selected. The main components of the resilience-promoting program were providing information (on strategies, medical and psychoeducation, and community resources) and emotional coping (expressing feeling, reappraising cognition about adversity, and stress management). The main outcomes of these programs were reinforced outcomes (resilience, benefit finding, coping, positive affect, problem-solving skills, family adaptation, and self-concept) and improved outcomes (in depression, posttraumatic stress, anxiety, impact of illness of the family, and mood). Conclusion: As the components and outcomes of family resilience-promoting programs vary, it is necessary to consistently use valid tools to effectively identify interventions. Additionally, various methodological studies are required to further analyze the effect of these programs.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":"39 1","pages":"185 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43370348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an intensive procedure to treat life-threatening diseases but is associated with multiple adverse medical experiences. QuestLeukemia (QuestED, Durham, NC) is a mobile app designed to educate pediatric patients preparing for HCT through age-appropriate videos and quizzes. Here we describe the results of the initial pilot study assessing acceptability and feasibility of QuestLeukemia app. Eligible participants were selected from a convenience sample (inpatient HCT unit and outpatient clinic). Participants spent 30–60 min using the app then completed a survey assessing the app for usability, accessibility, and user satisfaction. Participants identified the app as a useful tool for gaining disease-related knowledge and reported greater autonomy over their disease process. On average, patients indicated that the app was easy to use (M = 4.93), enjoyable (M = 4.79), and comprehensive (M = 4.71). Parents followed similar trends of satisfaction with the app. Pediatric HCT providers likewise reported that the app was easy to use (M = 4.22), enjoyable (M = 4.85), and educationally comprehensive (M = 4.77). The QuestLeukemia mobile application prototype provides an easy, enjoyable, and educational tool for pediatric patients undergoing HCT. This application was well received by patients, parents, and providers. These findings will be used to design future iterations of the game in clinical care.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":"39 1","pages":"137 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46096954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Psychosocial Standards of Care project, initiated in 2012, resulted in 15 Psychosocial Standards (PSS) that guide the care patients and families receive throughout treatment. As members of the multidisciplinary psychosocial care team, music therapists play an important role in the advancing the PSS. Most surveys have focused on other commonly provided services (e.g., social work, child life), leaving gaps in our understanding about the availability and use of music therapy services to advance PSS. This paper offers an initial description of how music therapy services contribute to the provision of care under these Standards. <b>Methods:</b> We analyze how music therapy services promote PSS through synthesis of a music therapy clinical practice survey, published literature, and scope of practice documents. A brief overview of music therapy services structure, PSS that music therapy services currently address, and two clinical program descriptions are included. <b>Results:</b> Music therapy services address 9 of the 15 PSS and are well integrated within the larger program of psychosocial care. Findings suggest integration of music therapy services can help ensure personalized, comprehensive care and efficient use of often-limited psychosocial care resources. <b>Discussion:</b> Nurses, as members of the psychosocial and medical teams are uniquely positioned to identify patient and family care needs and refer patients for services.

Pediatric oncology nurses have always advocated scheduling activities in such a way that allows the child to rest. It seems natural to recommend that a parent allow a child to nap more frequently during treatment. Pediatric oncology nurses and parents also notice that children who are being treated for cancer do not play with the same intensity and duration as they did before treatment. They wear out sooner than their peers or siblings, and parents and nurses make adjustments to take that into account. Yet we do not routinely assess fatigue in our patients. We do not usually discuss fatigue as a side effect of treatment, and we often use different words to describe the phenomenon. Fatigue has been a recognized side effect of cancer treatment in adults, and in recent years there has been an increase in research in regard to measurement, prevention, and intervention to manage treatment-related fatigue in adults; however, for children, the area of inquiry is still new.
