what caregiving styles there are and their quality, associating it with the impact of care in pediatric cancer, that is, in children.
Hello Elena Sentieri
The caregiver is part of a cancer care team made up of the patient, other family members and friends, and the medical staff. The caregiver mostly looks after giving medicines, handling side effects, reporting problems, trying to keep other family members and friends up to date on what’s happening as well as helping to decide if a treatment is working.
The child with cancer may face many new challenges. The caregiver may help the patient deal with these challenges and get through any problems that may come up. The caregiver may help pediatric cancer patients live a normal life as far as possible. The caregiver may help the child decide what activities are most important for them and to encourage the child to share feelings and support their efforts to share. For instance, if they begin talking about their feelings about cancer, listening to them and let them talk is a way in which he/she can express him/herself. The child should feel that the caregiver is available to help him/her.
