“…Paediatric healthcare providers encounter with a different and unique set of needs of their customers—children. That is, children opposite to adults, are in growth and development process which present inimitable demands relate to assessing pain in children, medication management, length of hospitalization (Oakley, Woods, Arnold, & Young, ), verbal and non‐verbal communication skills (Patel, Datye, & Jaser, ) that require in the medical treatment and might contribute to extra emotional overload amongst paediatric healthcare providers.…”

Aims The study aimed to examine differences between paediatric nurses and physicians regarding burnout syndrome, secondary traumatic stress (STS) and perceived social support (PSS). Background Paediatric nurses and physicians encounter cumulative effects of treating sick and injured children and helping their families, in situations that might promote burnout and STS. Design Cross‐sectional design. Method Nurses (n = 158) and physicians (N = 76) completed self‐report questionnaires on STS, PSS and burnout. Results Nurses and physicians had similar rates of STS and burnout but showed significant differences in PSS. Furthermore, STS mediated the association between PSS and burnout for both groups; however, the effect was stronger for nurses in comparison to physicians. Conclusion Paediatric nurses and physicians would benefit from participating in interventions geared towards reducing STS, thus minimizing burnout. Moreover, advocating social support within the organization is needed to bolster the ability for coping with sources of stress. Impact statement Nurses' and physicians' involvement in the physical, physiological and mental needs of their paediatric patients might lead to burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS). However, research on social support in the context of burnout and STS among nurses and physicians is scant. Secondary traumatic stress and burnout were similar for nurses and physicians, though perceived social support (PSS) was higher for nurses. Secondary traumatic stress plays a mediating role in the association between PSS and burnout among nurses and physicians. However, the mediation effect was stronger for nurses. Policy makers would be wise to advocate institutional stress management interventions to reduce secondary traumatic and to reinforce organizational support for nurses and physicians.

Despite the use of evidence-based platelet transfusion therapy during periods of hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia, a large proportion of pediatric hematology/oncology patients continue to suffer from clinically significant bleeding. Antifibrinolytic (AF) drugs have been shown in certain surgical and trauma settings to decrease bleeding, blood transfusion, and improve survival. We conducted a retrospective assessment of the safety of using AF drugs in pediatric patients with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia at our center as well as the impact on bleeding occurrence and severity.

“…The reaction occurs together with the presence of fever, with the increased temperature being able to reach one to two degrees above the temperature measured at the beginning of the transfusion, chills, tremors, hypotension, nausea, vomiting and shock. Other signs are flushing, dry skin, dyspnea, pains, diarrhea, hemoglobinuria, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and renal failure [21,[25][26][27][28].…”

Transfusion of blood components is considered safer, but it took years to reach this level. One of the most effective ways to make blood transfusion a safer practice is hemovigilance, which provides important data, including the history of feared transfusion reactions. In recent years in Brazil, there has been an improvement in the reporting of transfusion reactions, however due to the great diversity of hematology services, there are still transfusion reactions. The aims of this study were described the main types of transfusion reactions, as well as to evaluate the underreporting importance of transfusion occurrences of hemotherapy services in Brazil.
