Abstract
Cancer has become a major public health problem, and its data has
grown over the years. Unlike adults, the causes of childhood cancer are related to
other factors, and early diagnosis is extremely important. When looking at children,
the need for specialized care in pediatric oncology is perceived and nurses are
directly connected to all phases of this care. Objective: Describe the production of
national literature regarding the care provided to children with cancer. Methodology:
This is an integrative literature review, consulted in the databases indexed in the
Virtual Health Library (VHL), between March and May 2020, in Portuguese, English
and French, between 2000 and 2019. It was carried out analysis of 48 studies, and
after inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of six articles remained for the
preparation of the study. Results: The data converged on two themes: Directions of
care / care for children with cancer and Support to cope with changes in the family
life cycle, presenting a series of care applied by nurses in the face of the entire
pathological process. Final Considerations: It points out the need to approach the
theme since the graduation of the nurse, in order to break barriers between the
patient and the caregiver, in addition to the importance of filling the lack of research
in the area of pediatric oncology.
