Managing Psychosocial Impacts of Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment on Patients

Posted on August 2, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description: Providing care to children with cancer involves physical care such as medication administration and symptom support.  Another aspect of care that is important to provide is psychosocial care.  This is particularly evident in the satellite setting as care is being provided closer to home, where the family is trying to cope with the diagnosis and treatment.  The family must adapt to a new routine – balancing the ill child’s medical needs, as well as care of siblings and other family members, and loss of income and extra expenses.

This presentation will review actual cases to demonstrate the psychosocial needs of families with a child receiving cancer care in the satellite setting.  We will examine how those needs were addressed and shared between the satellite centre and the tertiary centre, and challenges and potential solutions for providing ideal psychosocial care.

Lisa Egan-Bates, RN, BScN
Pediatric Oncology Satellite Nurse Coordinator
Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket, ON

Karen Fung, MSW, RSW
Clinical Social Worker, Oncology Program
Patient Navigator, NAIT Program – Phase I / II Clinical Trials

Exploring Family Management of Childhood Brain Tumor Survivors

Posted on February 5, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description: This presentation was a conversation between a nurse researcher and the mother of a now 14 year old survivor of a medullablastoma who was diagnosed at age 8, and was suffering severe consequences of her diagnosis and treatment. The discussion focused on the impacts of multiple limitations that may result from successful therapy, highlighted the enormous burden of care faced by patients and families, and served as a springboard for a discussion of caregiver burnout.

Speakers:

Janet Deatrick, PhD, FAAN, RN
Associate Professor
University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Philadelphia, PA
Researcher
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA

Patricia Dillabough
Parent
