Grandparents play an integral role throughout the child's illness trajectory as they are called upon to provide support physically, spiritually, emotionally, and at times financially. This integrative review examines the current research specific to grandparents' experiences of childhood cancer. Method: CINAHL, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched using the key terms \"grandparent*\" AND \"experience*\" AND \"child*\" AND \"cancer.\" Inclusion criteria used for this review were as follows: electronic full text, peer-reviewed, and published in English between 2012 and 2022. Results: Grandparents of children with cancer experience an emotional whirlwind, a double-whammy effect, the giving and receiving of support, a balancing act, and attempt to find meaning throughout the diagnosis. They feel unacknowledged and unsupported by the health care team. Discussion: It is difficult to deny the emotional and familial impact the child's cancer diagnosis has not only on the child and immediate family but also on grandparents. While the reports of grandparents are consistent across studies, there have been lackluster attempts to mitigate the suffering experienced by this group. Pediatric oncology nurses, with their family-centered care approach, are in a unique position to uncover and meet the specific needs of grandparents of children diagnosed with cancer.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"67-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49683019","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}

Infertility impacts both male and female survivors complicating typical development for emerging young adults (EYAs) who typically spend this developmental period actively constructing their identities related to family and gender roles, attaining professional skills, and establishing social views. As literature is limited on identity formation and coping with infertility in young survivors, this study aimed to understand the experiences of childhood cancer survivors who are faced with infertility as a late treatment effect while reconstructing their identity. Method: A qualitative descriptive approach was used to explore the experiences and effects of childhood cancer complications on the identity development of six emerging adults (ages 18-29). Guided by the theoretical framework of identity development data were collected using semistructured interviews. Results: Four distinct themes emerged after the data analyses: restricted exploration and uncertain future, challenges to intimacy and communication, restructuring identity through redefining roles, and coping through familial support. Conclusions: Findings indicate that developmental processes of identity formation are complicated by the challenges stemming from infertility and require specific efforts to reconstruct core identity and redefine desired parental roles. Experimentation and self-discovery may be restricted for EYA cancer survivors as they reevaluate their views on intimate relationships, communication, potential professional roles, and family composition. Practical recommendations for multidisciplinary team members to support this growing population are discussed.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"32-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49683020","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}

A critical barrier is the absence of a clear conceptual understanding and operational definitions of spirituality for adolescents/young adults (AYAs) with cancer. The purposes of this concept analysis were to (a) clarify the concept of spirituality in the context of the AYAs' cancer experience and (b) generate a definition based on a review of the literature examining spiritual development and the role of spirituality in AYAs' health and cancer treatment. Method: We used Roger's evolutionary concept analysis method to identify antecedents, attributes, and consequences of spirituality in the context of AYAs' cancer using thematic analysis and included identification of case exemplars. Results: Of the 86 articles identified, 21 met our inclusion criteria. Analysis revealed four attributes of spirituality in AYAs with cancer: meaning and purpose, connectedness, life-long universal experience, and independent of or related to religion and faith traditions. Identified antecedents included the presence of spiritual resources, chronic illness, belief, or wonder about a higher power, and existential questions. Identified consequences included hope, meaning, feelings of peace, and enhanced well-being and illness acceptance. Based on the findings, we generated a definition of spirituality in AYAs with cancer. Discussion: Findings inform the development of measures and spiritual care interventions specific to AYAs with cancer. An important limitation to address in future research is the absence of AYAs' first-person accounts of their own spirituality.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"16-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49683021","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 multisite study was to explore the relationship between QoL and symptom adverse events (AEs) in children with advanced cancer over 6 months. Method: A prospective and longitudinal descriptive study design was used to collect QoL and symptom AE data from children aged 2 to 18 with advanced cancer. QoL was measured using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM) Cancer Module 3.0 and symptom AEs were measured using the Pediatric Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (PRO-CTCAEs®). Descriptive statistics were used to describe QoL and symptom AE data. Correlational analyses and generalized linear mixed models were used to examine the relationship between symptom AEs and QoL. Results: Forty-nine children participated in the study. The mean total PedsQLTM score was 73.86 for the sample across all time points. Children diagnosed with a central nervous system (CNS) tumor reported poorer QoL compared to children diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy or non-CNS solid tumor. Symptom frequency AEs of anxiety, pain, nausea, insomnia, hot flashes, and fatigue severity demonstrated the strongest and most significant negative correlation with total QoL scores. Analyses of the relationship between QoL and symptom AEs over time revealed time-specific significant differences with children who experienced frequency AEs of nausea, and anxiety reporting poorer QoL at time point 4 (week 8). Discussion: The Ped PRO-CTCAE® and PedsQLTM can be used to evaluate the relationship between symptom AEs and QoL in practice and in future research.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"5-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10216135","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}

To supplement the minimal literature in this area, activism (participation in activities that serve to benefit children with cancer as a group) was investigated as a potential coping strategy. Method: Parents (N = 67) of children with cancer completed an online survey that included measures of COPE inventory (COPE), hopefulness (Adult Hope Scale), and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9-item). Participants retrospectively reported their engagement in activism to benefit children with cancer and to benefit other causes, including actions that were taken before and after their child's cancer diagnosis. Relations between activism, overall styles of coping, hopefulness, and depression were assessed. Results: Activism was positively correlated with hope and active coping, but not associated with depression. Participants reported a significant increase in childhood-cancer-related activism following their own child's diagnosis, with 100% of parents endorsing engagement in such activism. Postdiagnosis childhood-cancer-related activism uniquely explained 17% of the variance in hopefulness after other forms of activism had been accounted for. Discussion: Childhood-cancer-related activism is a common activity among parents of children with cancer that has significant implications for parental hopefulness. Parents who endorse an active, solution-focused approach to coping with the childhood cancer experience may be more likely than others to engage in activism. Further research is needed to clarify the role of activism in the lives of families of children with cancer.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"56-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54231294","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}

Managing activities of daily living and medication administration after discharge from the hospital requires 24-hour care placing a heavy burden on caregivers and patients. Patients who do not adhere to the posttransplant regimen are at a higher risk for hospital readmission within the first 30 days of initial discharge with serious potential for life-threatening complications. The objective of this project was to improve 30-day readmission rates and caregiver readiness for discharge through the implementation of an evidence-based discharge protocol for P-HSCT patients and caregivers. Methods: This quality improvement project included development and implementation of comprehensive Pediatric Blood & Marrow Transplant Guidelines and discharge protocol for patients who received an inpatient autologous or allogeneic HSCT and were scheduled for discharge from a 16-bed inpatient pediatric hematology–oncology unit of a children's hospital in the southeastern United States. Readmission rates were captured through the hospital-monitored system. Results: The comprehensive discharge protocol was implemented for six patients, and 30-day readmission rates decreased from 27.29% to 3.57% following the intervention.

Less is known about the experience of parenting a child receiving dexamethasone and the impact on the parent-child relationship. Methods: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 parents and data was analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results: Four superordinate themes emerged: \"a child on steroids is not your child\": the behavioral and emotional changes in the child and their relationships; \"you have to do what you have to do\": adapting parenting to manage dexamethasone; \"it breaks your heart … it's a horrible medicine\": the emotional impact of parenting a child on dexamethasone; and, \"it's the worst week ever\": finding ways to cope with the challenges of dexamethasone.

Sleep disturbance is common among ALL patients, often developing during the initial stages of chemotherapy treatment. While there have been significant efforts to understand and intervene in this issue during survivorship, there is far less research on children who are actively receiving treatment. In the current study, we sought to better understand the parent's experience in the sleep domain during maintenance therapy, including their perceptions of how their child's medical team had managed sleep disturbances, and recommendations for how to improve sleep management. Method: Fifteen parents of pediatric ALL patients (aged 4-12 years) completed semistructured interviews. Interview content was analyzed using a multistage thematic analysis. Results: Parents consistently expressed feeling unprepared to manage the sleep disruptions that arose during treatment, often reporting that they did not recall being told this would be a side effect. They were enthusiastic about learning how to improve their child's sleep, though they did not want pharmacotherapeutic interventions or additional medical/psychosocial appointments to address this. Conclusion: Despite consistent provider communication on sleep, parents report limited knowledge of the issue. This provides an obvious intervention target to improve treatment-related sleep disturbances. Clear messaging may help direct parents' attention and expectations regarding their child's treatment and potential for disturbed sleep, possibly in the form of a behavioral intervention that empowers parents with information about how to support their child's sleep health while they are undergoing treatment for ALL.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"369-378"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11318374/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10157049","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}

The current study aimed to examine the usability of virtual reality (VR) interventions for children undergoing chemotherapy port-access procedures. Methods: Families (N = 20) of children with cancer, 4-17 years old (M = 8.70 years, SD = 3.71), were recruited. Patients and parents rated patients' dizziness, nausea, pain, and distress, and participants were shown how to use VR prior to the use of the procedure. After port-a-cath access, patients and parents rated pain and distress during the intervention. Semistructured interviews were conducted to examine the usability of the intervention. Result: A significant difference was identified for change in children's pain score for younger children, F(2, 11) = 4.16, p < .05. A significant decrease in fear scores was observed on child and parent reports. The VR headset was used during the procedure by 87.5% of the participants, while the rest used it before but took it off during the procedure, and 85.7% wished to use it again. No concerns were reported by 84.6% of the nurses and 92.3% reported no interference with their workflow.

This study assessed the spiritual well-being of children with cancer in association with their general well-being, happiness, quality of life, pain intensity, and personal characteristics. Method: The data were collected in Lithuania between June 2020 and November 2021. Children with cancer (N = 81) who were hospitalized at pediatric oncology-hematology centers participated in the study. Inclusion criteria were age (from 5 to 12 years old), diagnosis of oncologic disease for the first time, and absence of other chronic diseases. The instruments used were: Feeling Good, Living Life; Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Short Form; Well-Being Index; PedsQL™3.0 Cancer Module, and a Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale. Results: Communal and personal domains of spiritual well-being had the highest scores among pediatric oncology patients while both dimensions of the transcendental domain scored lowest. Age, level of education, and family composition revealed differences in children's spiritual health, happiness, and well-being, and church attendance was significant for overall spiritual well-being and its transcendental domain on lived experience dimension. Happiness had the strongest effect on all four domains of spiritual well-being.
