“…Of these, 16 studies evaluated the competency for PPM among nurses and nursing students (6,9,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34), eight explored factors impacting PPM by nurses (26,(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41), four studies evaluated the effect of educational programs for nurses on improving pain management in children (12,34,42,43), one explored the capacity of nurse educators and preceptors to facilitate nursing students knowledge development about PPM (44), one studied educational needs of nurses on paediatric units (45). Twenty-two (22) studies included nurses in clinical settings as study participants, 6 PPM?…”

Objective: To elucidate evidence regarding nurse educators' and preceptors' capacity to facilitate students' learning about paediatric pain management (PPM) in low- and middle-income countries(LMICs).Methods: The five-stage framework by Arksey and O'Malley guided this review. Studies published in English between January 2010 and April 2020 were searched using EBSCO Host/ ScienceDirect, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PUBMED and Scopus. Of 300 papers identified through the search strategy 27 primary research articles were retained: quantitative (n=18), qualitative (n=8) and mixed-methods (n=1).Results: Knowledge deficiency and inappropriate attitudes toward PPM, lack of autonomy in decisionmaking, scarcity of resources and cultural misconception regarding pain in children were hindering the effective PPM in LMICs. Strategies including nursing curricula review, continuous in-service training, access to resources and the leadership support are required to optimise effective PPM and improve students' facilitation for learning about PPM.Conclusion: Further research is required as a body of evidence to support the development of a framework for capacity enhancement of nurse educators and nurse preceptors who facilitate nursing students acquiring competency for PPM in LMICs. Keywords: Pain management education, Children, Scoping review, Low- and middle- income countries

“…These unfortunate incidents occurred because the hospital where they worked did not have adequate personal protective equipment's for the nurses to work with. Similarly, limited specialized nursing training and inadequate staffing result in a longer hospital stay and more complications amongst patients in general [14,15]. However, another study mentioned that the challenges of the pediatric oncology nurses are close to minimal [16].…”

A qualitative study of Ghanaian pediatric oncology nurses’ care practice challenges

Background Pediatric cancer is a global problem, and some studies have emphasized that nurses caring for these children experience work-related challenges. This has caused many children diagnosed with cancer to have a prolonged hospital stay and suffer unnecessary pain. However, there is insufficient documentary evidence on this issue. This study aims to explore and understand the challenges faced by pediatric oncology nurses in caring for children in Ghana. Methods An exploratory qualitative research design study was conducted from August 2019 to April 2020. The study was conducted at the pediatric oncology unit which is located at the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), Ghana. The study was conducted among 14 Ghanaian pediatric oncology nurses who were purposively sampled. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect data. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed inductively using Elo and Kyngas content analysis approach. The criteria proposed by Guba and Lincoln were used to ensure the validity of the study. Results From the analysis of participants transcripts, eight subcategories emerged from two major categories. The subcategories were; time-consuming care, low job motivations, inadequate logistics, work stress, reduced labour force, low knowledge level, lack of teamwork and the perception of contracting cancer. Conclusions The results point to several organizational and personal constraints experienced by the nurses who work at the pediatric oncology ward. It is hoped that by addressing these challenges, it would lead to further improvement in the care that is provided to children with cancer. There is the need for the administrative managers of hospitals, government and other stakeholders to invest in human, material and financial resources for delivering childhood cancer care services.
