K L Patterson
Belinda Barry Martin, RN, MS, is Home Care Coordinator at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. Although many studies have documented aspects of adult hospice care, there is little data available about the patterns of care for terminally ill children and the family response to this type of pediatric care. Pediatric hospice care differs in two notable ways from adult hospice care: (1) use of aggressive therapy; and (2) no six-month prognosis restriction. These differences, together with the different family roles between parent and child, make it difficult to generalize from data on adult hospice care to pediatric hospice care. The purpose of this demonstration model research study was: (1) to describe the characteristics of patients and families served over a five-year period, the types and intensity of services provided for home care, the length of stay in the home and in the hospital after entering the program, the costs of home care services, and the family responses to the program and its services; and (2) to examine the relationship between medical and background characteristics and patterns and costs of care. The design for this study was a retrospective crosssectional design. Data for the study were collected from three sources: (1) hospital and hospice program records; (2) home health care records; and (3) telephone interview data. The population studies

The value of group therapy for adolescents with cancer has not been well documented. This quasi-experimental and descriptive study was completed to determine the effects of participation in a support group on measures of psychosocial functioning of adolescents with cancer and to describe the process and content of such a group. Seven control and seven experimental subjects were tested prior to beginning the group and again following its completion. Descriptive data were obtained from a process log of the sessions and from participant evaluations. Descriptive findings suggest that the group may have had therapeutic value for the participants by helping them cope with such stresses as over-protective parents and isolation from peers. Empirical findings showed no significant differences on any measures of psychosocial functioning. Results of the study implied that adolescents with cancer may benefit from having a specific time to discuss concerns. However, further study is needed with a larger sample and improved methodology in order to support this finding empirically.

V C Peckham
Virginia C. Peckham, PhD, is the Coordinator of Project LEARN in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Children who are long term survivors of childhood cancer are very unique and some may need special services in school. As we look at the impact of the late effects of cancer and its treatment we become aware of the different parts of a child’s life that may be affected. Aside from being at home and with the family, the child spends the majority of his time in school. Undoubtedly a child’s &dquo;work&dquo; is school for most of his growing years. Not only learning takes place, but also much of the child’s social and emotional development occurs in school. For some time now we have been aware of the importance of clear and open communication between parents, medical team members, and school personnel for successful school re-entry for cancer patients. Now we must become aware of the importance of continuing this communication as some children evidence late effects of treatment that interfere with school success. School teachers, counselors, psychologists, and special education personnel need to be alert to the growing numbers of children who

Group therapy for pediatric oncology patients and their families has been identified as very useful in the management of stress associated with the disease. However, nurses caring for these patients may find it difficult to organize and maintain support groups in the face of such constraints as time, energy, and personnel. This clinical presentation will describe successful strategies implemented in one pediatric oncology center which overcame the above obstacles.
