Pediatric psycho-oncology care: standards, guidelines, and consensus reports
A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée de 1980 à 2013 (27 études), cette étude fait le point sur les recommandations, normes et rapports de consensus existants dans le domaine des soins pédiatriques en psycho-oncologie
Objective : The aim of this study was to identify existing guidelines, standards, or consensus-based reports for psychosocial care of children with cancer and their families.
Purpose : Psychosocial standards of care for children with cancer can systematize the approach to care and create a replicable model that can be utilized in pediatric hospitals around the world. Determining gaps in existing standards in pediatric psycho-oncology can guide development of useful evidence-based and consensus-based standards.
Methods : The MEDLINE and PubMed databases were searched by investigators at two major pediatric oncology centers for existing guidelines, consensus-based reports, or standards for psychosocial care of patients with pediatric cancer and their families published in peer-reviewed journals in English between 1980 and 2013.
Results : We located 27 articles about psychosocial care that met inclusion criteria: 5 set forth standards, 19 were guidelines, and 3 were consensus-based reports. None was sufficiently up to date, comprehensive, specific enough, or evidence- or consensus-based to serve as a current standard for psychosocial care for children with cancer and their families.
Conclusion : Despite calls by a number of international pediatric oncology and psycho-oncology professional organizations about the urgency of addressing the psychosocial needs of the child with cancer to reduce suffering, there remains a need for development of a widely acceptable, evidence-based and consensus-based, comprehensive standard of care to guide provision of essential psychosocial services to all patients with pediatric cancer.
