Young children's experiences of living an everyday life with cancer – A three year interview study
2019, European Journal of Oncology NursingCitation Excerpt :Despite the fact that parent’ reports may not be consistent with children's own reports (Eiser and Morse, 2001), it is mainly parents' views on children's experiences that have been sought in published studies (Enskär et al., 2015). In order to ensure quality care, young children should be encouraged to give subjective assessments about their health when possible, and parent reports should be seen more as a complement to children's reports (Woodgate, 2000). Including young children in research generally requires both adult's perspective on the child and the child's own perspectives (Nilsson et al., 2015) such as in this study.
The process of striving for an ordinary, everyday life, in young children living with cancer, at six months and one year post diagnosis
2014, European Journal of Oncology NursingCitation Excerpt :Young children can and should offer subjective assessments about their health and should be encouraged to report them, when possible, in order to ensure quality care (Darcy et al., 2014; Deatrick and Faux, 1986). Research is required to facilitate children communicating their thoughts and feelings associated with their illness (Dixon-Woods et al., 2005; Woodgate, 2000, 2006). It is important to explore how children live life through the cancer trajectory and not just focus on surviving and getting over it (Clarke-Steffen, 1997).
Preferences for support services among adolescents and young adults with cancer or a blood disorder: A discrete choice experiment
2012, Health PolicyCitation Excerpt :These patients face a number of aspects that may compromise their well-being and psychosocial functioning. These include; mortality issues, difficulties adjusting to living with uncertainty, the knowledge that the condition may be life-long and the possibility of recurrence [8,9]. Patients may experience the loss of peers with similar conditions, and the fear, restrictions and over-protectiveness of their parents may also influence the perceptions young patients have of their ability to adapt to appropriate development stages [10,11].
