Addressing AYAs' hopes can stimulate a dialogue about their concerns, values, and goals, provide a path to holistically support their existential needs, and potentially alleviate their distress. This study aimed to evaluate hope's role in a sample of AYAs living with advanced cancer. Method: This study used a Husserlian phenomenology-informed descriptive qualitative research design to elicit AYAs' experiences with hope while living with advanced cancer. Participants were virtually recruited from an academic medical center and an online non-profit organization. Thematic analyses were performed across the data set to identify final themes. Results: Fifteen AYAs aged 12-21 years diagnosed with advanced hematological (80%) or solid (20%) malignancies participated in this study. A main theme of Simple Supports of Hope with a subtheme of Diversion was identified. Participants described music as a form of diversion, which supported their hope. Participants found listening to music calming and comforting and helped them cope with their distress. Performing music provided a creative outlet for negative feelings associated with cancer treatment. Participants reported creating music transformed and deintensified the treatment environment and helped spread hope to healthcare staff. Discussion: AYAs may intentionally use music to improve emotional expression, empowerment, connection, and coping strategies throughout the treatment process for cancer. Additional research needs to be conducted exploring the use of music interventions such as therapeutic songwriting or compositional music therapy to assist AYAs with building coping strategies during treatment for cancer.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"399-407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142711020","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}

Storytelling is one strategy to help children document their legacies. Understanding story content would advance knowledge of how children want to be remembered but this has yet to be explored. This study explored content of digital stories created by children with advanced cancer. Method: Facebook advertisements were used to recruit families of children (7-17) with relapsed/refractory cancer to participate in a randomized controlled trial testing a legacy intervention through storytelling. Parent-child dyads (N = 150) were randomly assigned to an intervention or usual care group. A web program guided children to answer legacy questions and upload photographs, movies, and music. Families received the final digital stories. Experienced qualitative coders developed a hierarchical coding system to identify major categories/subcategories within 78 stories. Results: Stories included 1,516 unique story entries, including text, photographs, and movies. Two major categories emerged from the data: (a) story entry medium and (b) story content. Photographs frequently reflected people, objects, pets, and places while text often described personal preferences, goals, dreams, and other people. The story content overall included references to (a) people, (b) setting/location, (c) cancer, (d) objects/activities, and (e) expression of emotions/beliefs. Exemplar quotes, counts, and frequencies for each category are reported. Discussion: Children documented their legacies through stories that emphasized the value of family relationships and children's desires to be known for personal traits/preferences. Children chose to include cancer in their stories, indicating that cancer is a part of how children perceive their legacies.

The purpose of this study was to examine recent literature regarding decision-making and fertility preservation prior to the initiation of therapy for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer. Method: A search of multiple online databases was undertaken for peer-reviewed studies between the years of 2010 and 2022. The databases CINAHL, PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, Google Scholar, and forward citation search was employed using the same Boolean search phrases in each database. Some 402 articles were then screened for relevance by title, abstract, and full review based on inclusion/exclusion criteria for synthesis. Results: Ten articles met criteria to be included in this review. Three themes were identified as impacting the decision to cryopreserve sperm prior to the initiation of therapy. Provider recommendation, parent recommendation, and referral for fertility specialist consult emerged as statistically significant factors in the decision to attempt sperm banking. Discussion: While the most significant factor impacting the decision to preserve fertility, parents reported they were more likely to recommend this to their child if they received clear recommendations from the medical team. Pediatric oncology physicians and nurses are in a unique position to positively impact quality of life and psychosocial outcomes in survivors of pediatric cancer by providing up-to-date evidence-based information, risk assessment, recommendations, and/or referral to fertility preservation specialists to families and patients.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":"44 1","pages":"27527530241267299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187234","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}

This secondary analysis assessed the seroprevalence of anti-measles immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies as a marker of immune status in survivors of childhood cancer and associated demographic/treatment variables. Method: Participants were childhood cancer survivors who were free of active disease, having routine blood studies drawn, and could provide documentation of having received two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine before their cancer diagnosis. Patient record review documented demographic and treatment variables. Antimeasles (rubeola) IgG antibody seroprevalence was assessed by enzyme immunoassay for vaccine-specific antibodies. Results: Of 270 survivors evaluated, 110 (42%) were female, 196 (75%) were White, and 159 (61%) were leukemia/lymphoma survivors. Of these 262, 110 (42%) had negative measles seroprevalence, suggesting loss of immunity. Conclusion: Measles antibody surveillance and the need for reimmunization for survivors of childhood cancer survivors outside the transplant setting remains controversial. Our analysis indicates that a substantial proportion of survivors lose vaccine-related immunity to measles. Pediatric oncology nurses play important roles in educating cancer survivors regarding their risk of measles infection, evaluating the need for reimmunization, correcting misinformation about vaccine safety and effectiveness, and working to optimize community herd-based immunity.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"309-314"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11612261/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140877525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Semistructured interviews were conducted with clinicians (N = 13) from pediatric institutions across the United States and Canada. Qualitative data were analyzed using a constant comparative analysis three-stage method. Results: Participants were primarily nurses (92%), female (77%), and had greater than 10 years of pediatric oncology experience. The selective code and overarching theme identified was \"A quality approach to blinatumomab delivery in pediatric oncology.\" Clinicians described detailed processes that were created and implemented to promote a common goal of safe blinatumomab administration across the continuum of care. Clinicians shared how they engaged in planning activities and considered a variety of factors prior to and during blinatumomab administration. Clinicians also expressed a need to reflect and evaluate on previous patient experiences to create new or revise existing processes and workflows. Communication was also central to clinicians' work. Clinicians provided recommendations to assist others with blinatumomab administration and offered suggestions for items that could help with implementing future clinical trials containing similar agents.

This study explored parents' experiences related to their decision on stem cell donation, as well as ethical considerations in the donation process where outcomes are uncertain. Method: Individual interviews were performed with 18 parents of 13 minor donors after successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantations. Interviews were analyzed using inductive Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Results: The parents were living with the threat of losing a child, and in this context, the main theme No conflicting loyalties was found and included four subthemes; Focus on the ill child, Sibling as the preferred donor, Obvious that the healthy child should donate, and Keep on keeping on. Conclusion: When a healthy child is a potential donor to an ill sibling, their parents' main focus is on the cure for the ill child. The lack of obvious conflicting loyalties among parents highlights the need to secure an ethical process for healthy minor donors and the importance of a separate donor advocate for these minor donors.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"315-323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142584297","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}

Pharmacological antiemetics and complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) have been studied separately to manage CINV, but a gap exists in understanding their use together. We aimed to investigate the potential multimodal effects of CIM and pharmacological antiemetics on CINV in pediatric oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: Systematic searches were conducted in four databases to identify studies evaluating the efficacy of CIM in combination with pharmacological antiemetics in patients ages 0-21 with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Relevant data were extracted from each study and evaluated. Results: Eighteen sources examining CIM therapies in three distinct categories (herbal, physical, and psychological) were identified. Three of four herbal interventions yielded significant results, all of which implemented oral ginger. Physical interventions included manual and wristband acupressure, auricular acupuncture, and needle and laser acupuncture. Significant results were found in only four of these 10 studies. Among psychological interventions, two of four yielded significant results. Discussion: There is no clear evidence of benefit from CIM therapies in addition to pharmacological antiemetics to better control CINV. However, this review provides support and direction for future research to examine potential effects. Complementary therapies generally have little potential for harm, are relatively low cost, and low burden. Therefore, if there is a perceived benefit for patients and families, complementary and integrative therapies should be considered.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"358-369"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11874163/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142093853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital apps can aid in enhancing pain assessment and management by offering children and adolescents with cancer an accessible tool to describe their pain as a multifaceted biopsychosocial construct. Pain Squad is a useable, acceptable, and psychometrically sound multidimensional cancer pain assessment app for children and adolescents with cancer. This project aimed to evaluate the capacity to implement Pain Squad into routine pediatric oncology practice. Method: Nurse champions were asked to prescribe the Pain Squad app to patients over a 6-month implementation period. After the implementation period, we conducted audiorecorded, semistructured interviews with nurse champions to investigate the facilitators and barriers related to nurses' experiences with implementing Pain Squad. Results: The facilitators and barriers to Pain Squad implementation were organized into four overarching Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)-related themes: (a) characteristics of the Pain Squad app; (b) clinic setting and its context; (c) nurse implementation champions; and (d) the process of implementing Pain Squad into clinical practice. Conclusions: Interviewed nurses believed Pain Squad had the potential to improve child cancer pain care, but barriers to everyday use were evident, described in relation to the internal setting, especially the lack of compatibility between app prescription and current nurse workflows. The use of CFIR to map identified implementation facilitators and barriers can formally support the recognition of factors that may boost the chances of successful uptake.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"283-291"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141976808","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 emerging field of virtual AAI allows access to AAI regardless of setting and extends to children at home. Youth and Pet Survivors™ (YAPS) is a novel form of virtual AAI with dog and cat pen pals who share a diagnosis of cancer or serious illness. Little is known about how exchanging letters with animals with a shared diagnosis influences perceived QOL, and how the human-animal bond (HAB) is expressed in letter narratives. Method: A thematic narrative analysis approach was used to analyze a secondary dataset consisting of letters and interviews from children in YAPS. The research team designed a conceptual framework to guide the analysis, integrating concepts of perceived QOL, the HAB, and emotional social support. Results: Collectively, the letter and interview texts illustrated cocreated stories of the HAB. Themes included the virtual HAB as a mirror, constructing identity in the context of the HAB, expressions of the mutuality of the HAB, happiness with having a pen pal, illness story, and connection to normalcy. Answers to research questions operationalize the influence of virtual AAI. Discussion: Having an animal pen pal improved perceived QOL and was a potent source of emotional social support across the illness trajectory, supporting YAPS as a nurse-led intervention for facilitating adjustment to illness. This study adds a conceptual framework and scientific evidence to the emerging field of virtual AAI.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":"6 1","pages":"252-264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187248","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}
