J Pediatr Hematol Oncol Nurs 2023 October 32
Background: Education for parents and caregivers of children with cancer is one of the fundamental roles of nurses to avoid complications, provide quality care, promote adherence to treatment and maintain basic standards of care. This study aimed to design educational material for parents and caregivers of children with cancer in Peru on general information about childhood cancer and its care. Method: Within the framework of the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer in Peru, a multicenter working group was convened by the Peruvian Ministry of Health. A comprehensive needs assessment of parents and caregivers of children with cancer was performed through a survey in June and July 2020. The survey was conducted online (via Google Forms) and in person at nine hospitals to examine the preferred method of delivery and content of information. Results: Based on the findings from the parent needs assessment, a national nursing working group developed Spanish-language audiovisual materials (i.e., diagnosis and treatment videos for nurses to educate parents and caregivers). A total of 365 parents and caregivers were included. Most respondents (56.9%) were parents of children receiving treatment. Main topics were childhood cancer overview and side effects (85%), food and nutrition (75%), and palliative care (67%); most (70.9%) preferred information through talks and videos (64.7%). Twenty-three videos were developed with support by the Pan American Health Organization and the Ministry of Health. Discussion: Assessing the educational needs of parents and caregivers of children with cancer provides a starting point in the design of targeted strategies.
