“…Nurses have vital role through their active participation in the BMA procedure at multiple time points; the nurse provides pre-procedural education to investigate and address the child and parents' information needs, assesses the child's medical history and laboratory data, and assists in the child preparation regarding the aspiration site. Also, the nurse assists during the procedure by preparing equipment, preparing the aspiration site and cleaning the site with the antiseptic solution, immobilizing the child and providing reassurance (Chaves et al, 2018).…”

Background: Bone Marrow Aspiration (BMA) is an essential invasive technique for diagnosis, examinations or transplantation. BMA should be carried out by trained individuals who are aware of the indications, contraindications and complications of the procedure. Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the designed nursing guidelines on nurses' performance regarding care of children undergoing bone marrow aspiration. Research design: Quasi-experimental research design was used. Sample: A convenience sample of all available nurses (30) working in Hemato-oncology department at Benha Specialized Pediatric Hospital and purposive sample of 60 children undergoing bone marrow aspiration. Tools: Two tools were utilized. Tool (I): A structured interviewing questionnaire to assess personal characteristics of the studied nurses, characteristics of children and nurses' knowledge about cancer and bone marrow aspiration. Tool (II): Observational checklist to assess nurses' practice concerning caring of children with cancer undergoing bone marrow aspiration. Results: There was a highly statistical positive correlation between total knowledge and total practices scores of the studied nurses at pre and post-implementation of designed nursing guidelines. Conclusion: The designed nursing guidelines were effective in improving nurses' knowledge and enhancing their practices concerning care of children undergoing bone marrow aspiration. Recommendations: Continuing in-service training programs should be carried out to encourage nurses providing high competent care.

“…Although prior studies have focused on the patient/family and oncologist, one notably overlooked group in this research is nurses. Nurses play an “indispensable role in the care” of children with cancer, 12 providing a “canopy for cancer patients” that shelters them from the sequelae of their disease 13 . Inpatient nurses often take a primary role in symptom management, serving as the first point of contact for helping children and their families feel comfortable during hospitalizations 14 .…”

BackgroundChildren treated with stem cell transplant (SCT) are routinely hospitalized for long periods where they are exposed to significant sleep and circadian disruptions. As nurses play a primary role in symptom management during SCT, we sought to understand their perspective on patient sleep and circadian disruptions, perceived barriers to a good sleep and circadian environment, and suggestions for improvement.ProcedureFour focus groups were conducted with pediatric SCT nurses (N = 25 participants). A semistructured focus group guide was administered, with the discussions recorded and transcribed. A multistage thematic analysis combining prefigured and emergent dimensions was conducted. Our analysis focused on drawing comparisons within and across focus groups to understand the unique work experiences that participants had related to the patient's sleep and circadian environment.ResultsThree key themes emerged. First, nurses expressed a high awareness of how disruptive the hospital environment is for patients. Second, nurses described their extensive efforts to try to minimize the impact of these disruptions. Finally, they provided clear recommendations for how to improve upon these concerns, along with barriers that they perceive could impede implementation.ConclusionsFront‐line caregivers on a pediatric SCT unit describe key contributors to sleep/circadian disturbances for patients. Within the constraints of the considerable medical needs of this patient population and the physical room/hospital environment, nurses strive to minimize these disruptions to the best of their ability. It is crucial that hospitals assess and remediate these disturbances for these children that have important implications for overall health.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of this article is to highlight the state of the problem of professional stress and burnout of medical and social professionals working in pediatric oncology/hematology. The authors review the problems and results of researches (reflected in modern international literature), taking into account the specifics of this field of medicine, which significantly determine the prevalence and high level of emotional burnout among specialists. The problems and difficulties of investigating this topic are analyzed. The selected groups of factors leading to burnout are described. A special attention is given to demographic, individual psychological, cultural and organizational factors. Special phenomena are described related to the content of the work of different specialists in pediatric oncology/hematology (moral distress, re-traumatization, compassion fatigue and satisfaction, mourning) and the difference in the level of burnout. The article also analyzes the results of applying various programs and areas of psychosocial assistance for specialists in this difficult field of medicine, including organizational measures, training and development of special skills, group psychological support. Many of them are proved to be highly effective in this difficult area of medicine both for preventing burnout and reducing the already existing level of professional stress.</p>
