Weighted blankets are a potential intervention to address anxiety for pediatric oncology patients. The goal of this work is to assess the effectiveness of weighted blankets in reducing anxiety for pediatric oncology patients.MethodA randomized 2 × 2 cross-over design was utilized. Newly diagnosed pediatric oncology patients between the age of 4 and 17 were included. All participants also needed to pass seriation screening to be able to eligible for the study. Participants were randomized to one of two arms: weighted blanket on first infusion visit after enrollment then usual care on second visit (WB:UC) or usual care on first infusion visit after enrollment then weighted blanket (UC:WB) on second visit. Anxiety via Children's Anxiety Meter-State (CAM-S) was collected pre- and postinfusion visit. Descriptive statistics were conducted to describe the data. A linear mixed model with interaction effects was conducted to assess the treatment effect of the weighted blanket.ResultsThere were 26 participants who were enrolled in the study. Twenty-four with complete information were included in the analysis. Regression models revealed that CAM-S measure reduced by -0.71 (95% CI: [-1.25 to -0.19], p = .02).

This strain can affect parental resilience, which is crucial in maintaining family functioning and supporting the child's needs during diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to examine resilience levels in parents of children with ALL, focusing on differences between mothers and fathers and exploring sociodemographic factors influencing these levels. While specific ALL subtypes were not considered, different risk levels within ALL can affect coping and resilience differently. Method: Parent resilience was assessed using the Resilience Scale for Parents of Children with Cancer. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze how factors such as parents' age, child's age, time since diagnosis, employment status, family size, education level, and income level predict parental resilience. Results: A total of 48 parents participated. Resilience was significantly lower in mothers compared to fathers (p < .01). Sociodemographic factors influencing resilience included the mother's age, number of children, education, and income, F(9, 38) = 66.852, p < .001, and the father's age, child's age, time since diagnosis, number of children, education, and income, F(7, 40) = 245.567, p < .001. Discussion: This study provides insight into the resilience levels of parents of children with ALL. Exploring the differences between mothers and fathers and the influencing factors can improve healthcare services and support programs. Tailored interventions, such as psychosocial support targeting lower income or lower education families, could address parental stress and improve treatment adherence for children with ALL.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"109-119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144592460","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 program plan comprises three components with various interventions dispensed at key times during treatment: education and training for OC management and safe use, evaluation and counseling about OC side effects, and empowerment of families and normalization of their experience with OC.DiscussionThe combination of a participatory approach and a structured framework for the program development is likely to increase its relevance, acceptability, and efficacy.

The purpose of this study was to determine if neighborhood resources, operationalized using the Child Opportunity Index, are associated with overall survival for 1,343 children and adolescents diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in New Jersey (NJ) between 2004 and 2020. Method: The NJ State Cancer Registry was used to create the study cohort. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were estimated for the five categories of the composite Child Opportunity Index and compared statistically by the log-rank test. Unadjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models were constructed to estimate the hazard of death with inclusion in a final adjusted model set at p ≤ .10. This analytic plan was repeated for each of the three subdomains of the Child Opportunity Index to pinpoint potential areas for intervention. Findings: Five-year overall survival was 90%. However, census tracts with very low opportunity had 87% survival and very high had 96%. Living in a very low opportunity census tract was associated with a 2.6-fold risk of death compared to a very high opportunity tract. There was no difference in the hazard of death among racial or ethnic groups. Analyses of the subdomains of the Child Opportunity Index indicate these disparities are driven by socioeconomic factors. Discussion: In NJ childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survival is attributable, in part, to the inequitable allocation of opportunity among census tracts leaving children in the state's most poorly resourced areas at greatest risk.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"65-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660451","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 purpose of this study was to explore pediatric oncology nurses' experiences of situations when they have not been able to provide the best care to children with cancer. Method: A qualitative study was conducted with a classic grounded theory approach. After purposive sampling followed by theoretical sampling, individual and focus group interviews were performed. Simultaneously with data collection, analysis was carried out in accordance with classic grounded theory. Results: Twenty-five nurses from three different pediatric units were interviewed between September 2021 and May 2023. Nurses' main concern was to uphold children's best interests. Lack of time was one of the major barriers to the best possible care, but even different views on children's best interests hindered nurses from practicing care as they wished. Nurses handled challenging situations by juggling compassion and competing responsibilities, which included prioritizing, shifting up a gear, settling for good enough, acquiescing, and pulling together.

The main goals of FTI are to facilitate family communication about illness-related topics, support parenting, and make the children's needs visible. Method: This qualitative study included interviews from 30 parents from 18 families who had participated in FTI 4-5 years earlier. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Parents reported that they still used several of the strategies they had learned during FTI that helped them to continue to share their thoughts and emotions and maintain an open communication within the family, which reduced the family's stress. Parents also used strategies that helped them to put the spotlight on the children and to increase the democracy in the family. Their participation provided a springboard to participate in new contexts outside the hospital where they share their difficulties with other parents. Discussion: Long-term evaluation is crucial for understanding an intervention's sustainability over time. The psychosocial intervention, FTI, remained beneficial for families even 4-5 years after their participation, with the strategies learned during FTI demonstrating long-term persistence and enhancing parents' resilience in coping with adverse life events.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"120-128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660450","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}
