who died of cancer between 1990-1997 experienced substantial suffering at EOL and parental communication was deficient. Wolfe suggests that there is a need for extensive improvement in EOLC for children with cancer (2000). It is expected that children with cancer should receive high-quality palliative care at the end of life. But a study found that, it is not known whether EOLC of children with cancer meets this standard of care. In a Boston study, it was found that children experienced substantial suffering towards the EOL, and treatment was seldom successful. The study also found that fatigue was the most commonly reported symptom, and there were barely any attempts by physicians to treat this problem (Wolfe et al., 2000). The data…show more content… According to the parents, physicians mainly focused on the physical symptoms of the child. Most of the psychological symptoms of both the child and the parent were not acknowledged by health professionals (Theunissen et al., 2007). Despite this result, there have been substantial research conducted to create measures that can gauge the quality and effect of palliative care mostly for adults. However, data collected from these studies may be applied to interventions created to help children with cancer.
Preparing for Death Approximately 2,300 pediatric patients with cancer will die each year in the United States. Of these 2,300 patients, more than half will include have a do not resuscitate order (DNR) during their EOL planning (Hinds et al., 2005). During the last month of life, a study found that most children; according to their parents, 53% had little or no fun, 61% were more than a little sad and 63% were not calm and peaceful most of the time (Wolfe et al., 2000). These deaths are usually anticipated, and have been included in the end of life decisions of both patient and family. End of life decisions include, DNRs, withdrawal of life support and aggressive symptom management only. Hinds et al. (2005) study reported that the most frequently reason for feeling okay about a DNR decision include “the Lord is
(Foster et al., 2010). Physicians also need to support parents and other family members, by providing a bridge to close the gap between the disease and the patient (Himelstein, Hilden, Boldt, & Weissman, 2004). This applies especially for children with cancer, communication between physicians and the family is crucial because it is ultimately the choice of the parents who decide how to proceed with the illness. Parents are more likely to have preferences, depending on their
In childhood, cancer is the second leading cause of non-accidental death. Cancer is surpassed only by accidental deaths. The most common pediatric cancers are leukemia, cancer of the brain and nervous system, renal tumors, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Jemal et al., 2008). The National Cancer Institute (2017) estimates about 10,270 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in children in 2017 and about 1,190 are expected to die from this disease. Children cancers are treated and evaluated differently from adult
genetic engineering? No doubt, with hybridizations conscious life is manipulated. But living organisms continue to make some primary genetic decisions amid limited selections. We can understand this with an analogy. There is an immense difference between being a matchmaker and inviting two people to a dinner party, to meet and see if they are compatible. This differs essentially from forcing their meeting and union or a violent date rape. The former act may be divine, and the latter considered criminal
been a worldwide social and educational concern for the developed, developing and underdeveloped countries. Many countries continue to experience high incidence of teenage pregnancy despite the intervention strategies that have been put in place. In 1990 approximately 530,000 teenagers in the United States became pregnant, 51% of whom gave birth (Coley & Chase-Lansdale, 1998).
Available literature suggests that fertility rates in developing countries have declined in the past two decades (Dickson

The other difference between the natural carbon cycle and human-induced climate change is that the latter is rapid. This means that ecosystems have less chance of adapting to the changes that will result and so the effects
However, by the late 1980s and early 1990s, behavioral researchers like Paul Salkovskis and Jack Rachman were advocating a more integrative theory and treatment of OCD, an approach that amalgamated the behavioral treatment of OCD with Beck’s (1976) cognitive theory of emotional disorders. From
