Primary Nursing in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology: a relationship-based care

Abstract

Ciacci G

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia in pediatric age is analyzed through a clinical overview and then moves on to the physical and psychological needs of the child and his family during the whole treatment process. Then it was wanted to retrace the professional development and growth of the nurse, who over the years has acquired skills, autonomy and responsibility and who, within a multi-professional team, is a point of reference for the assisted and his family. In addition both the importance of nursing care in a care path in which technical-practical and above all communication-relational skills are required and the importance of a personalized care process through the use of theoretical nursing models for the detection of bio-psycho-social needs are taken into consideration. Taking care and communication/relationship can improve the quality of life of the child affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia and his family.
