Abstract

Background

The treatment options for children with childhood cancers have expanded to not only surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biotherapy, but also hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). There are many challenges linked to this type of treatment. One of the challenges is the insight into how the stem cell team members perceive the treatment of the children.

Objective

To explore the insights of a paediatric stem cell transplantation team.

Design and methods

A qualitative study method was employed. Data were collected using face-to-face personal interviews with sixteen (16) eligible participants. Non-probability sampling method was used to select participants. Thematic analysis and coding were used to transcribe data. The setting was a private and public hospital in the Western Cape where hematopoietic stem cell transplantations were performed.

Results

The team was positive about this treatment option for childhood cancers. Selected members of the team experienced psychological encounters to practice in a hematological setting, especially with sick children. However, certain members could disconnect psychologically from the patients.

Conclusions

The management of hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients is complex, and the multi-disciplinary team must have a suitable approach towards these patients. Training of team members should include hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for children. Haematology practitioners must be well-informed about stem cell research in children. Health education in the community regarding stem cell transplantations should be conducted to create awareness.

探索儿科干细胞移植团队的见解
背景儿童癌症患者的治疗方法已扩展到手术、化疗、放疗和生物治疗,还包括造血干细胞移植(HSCT)。这种治疗方式面临许多挑战。其中一项挑战是了解干细胞小组成员对儿童治疗的看法。目的 探讨儿科干细胞移植小组的看法。通过与十六(16)名符合条件的参与者进行面对面的个人访谈收集数据。采用非概率抽样法选择参与者。采用主题分析和编码法转录数据。采访地点是西开普省一家进行造血干细胞移植的私立和公立医院。团队中的部分成员在血液科环境中工作时,尤其是面对患病儿童时,会遇到一些心理问题。结论造血干细胞移植患者的管理非常复杂,多学科团队必须对这些患者采取合适的方法。对团队成员的培训应包括儿童造血干细胞移植。血液学从业人员必须充分了解儿童干细胞研究。应在社区开展有关干细胞移植的健康教育,以提高人们的认识。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
