Abstract
Primary Caregivers are the fulcrum in the physician-caregiver-child triad. Existing literature discusses static multi-component interventions in detail. In long-term treatments, dynamic intervention design is needed as the environment and situations of the families are dynamic. The objectives of this study are (a) to identify the components of the primary caregiver's perception of the physician's value with reference to the effectiveness of consultation and relationships with the former and with the child; (b) to establish the role of this perception in designing dynamic interventions, and (c) to describe the perception's potential influence on adherence. A PRISMA, chronological, and morphological analysis of the literature is carried out about caregivers' adherence in the pediatric long-term treatment context. We define communication and consultation as the functional, whereas relationship as the emotional component of the caregiver's perception of the physician. We propose a theoretical model that incorporates intervention as an integral component of care. Adherence happens as a response to changing situations and hence fluctuates. Hence, a dynamic intervention design to benefit the child should be incorporated into care through the caregiver-physician bridge. Future research should explore how intervention needs change and the driving reasons for understanding the static and dynamic components of interventions.

Abstract
This systematic review integrates qualitative and quantitative research findings regarding family changes in the context of childhood cancer. Twenty-eight quantitative, 42 qualitative, and one mixed-method studies were reviewed. Included studies focused on family functioning, marital quality, and/or parenting in the context of pediatric cancer, were written in English, and were published between 1996 and 2009. Overall, qualitative findings show that families alter roles, responsibilities, and day-to-day functioning to accommodate the needs of children with cancer. Although some degree of family reorganization is normative, the extent and impact of these changes varies. Quantitative work shows that mean levels of family functioning (e.g., cohesion, flexibility) are similar between families facing cancer and normative or comparison samples. However, families follow different trajectories of improvement, decline, or stability in family closeness and marital quality. Parenting has received limited quantitative research attention, but qualitative work suggests that parents perceive deeper bonds with ill children and may spoil or overprotect them. Conclusions support future work examining the influence of family-level variables on the adjustment of individual family members.

Abstract
This article presents an analysis of literature on paternal and maternal development and resilience through the experience of having a child diagnosed, treated, and possibly die from cancer. The methods and analysis of findings from research conducted in this area are assessed, as are the data's relevance and implications for practice. The review required an in-depth search of relevant health-care databases using appropriate search terms. Findings were then culled and analysed based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and two papers were deemed appropriate for selection. Four contrasting themes emerged from each article. It was generally acknowledged that mothers and fathers enduring such an experience stated that changes occurred in their lives. The mothers felt a need to become tougher for their child and family, and the fathers recognized a need to focus quickly on what needed to be done to treat their child's illness. However, analytically the differences in each paper are vast. The research was conducted in Japan and the United States, where contrasting cultural and societal beliefs and influences are apparent, therefore inadvertently affecting the research findings. Furthermore, a gap in research in this area has been detected, and much more research specifically focused on this subject is required if the children's nurse is to provide evidence-based holistic care in this area on a continual basis.

Abstract
It has been well established that mothers of children diagnosed with cancer experience high levels of distress. Latina mothers may be at risk for higher levels of distress related to language barriers, cultural factors, and economic, immigration, and acculturation stressors. Despite the increasing US Latino population, few studies have examined the role of culture within pediatric oncology, including how mothers cope with their child's cancer. This study used qualitative analysis of 24 sessions from 3 Latina and 3 European American mothers of children recently diagnosed with cancer. The session transcripts were divided into a total of 2328 thought segments that were then analyzed for themes using a collaborative iterative process. Analysis identified 9 shared coping themes that included, with some variations: gathering information, professional help-seeking, activities, problem solving, positive thinking, present orientation, reframing, avoidance, and religion. Three themes were culture specific: only European American mothers discussed compromise, whereas normalization and perspective taking were unique to the Latina mothers and suggest that the cultural value of simpatía influences coping. Clinical and research recommendations are discussed.

Abstract
Although pediatric cancer treatment has been reviewed by several authors, the lived experiences of children undergoing this process have seldom been discussed in the literature. The data for this article were obtained from a larger qualitative study that provided a collective view of the pediatric cancer experience at San Jorge Children's Hospital in Puerto Rico. In this article, findings that are directly related to the hospitalization process of these young patients are described, including the hospital as a safe haven, dealing with pain, taking control, and thriving in adversity. These findings provide a rationale for the development of a biopsychosocial model of health that emphasizes reciprocal interactions among the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions that influence health.

Abstract
Este trabalho efetua uma revisão de literatura na área de psiconcologia pediátrica, destacando estudos e pesquisas relativos ao tema do enfrentamento da doença e do tratamento, publicados entre 1996 e 2007. Os resultados dos estudos evidenciam que um tratamento onco-hematológico pediátrico está associado a diversas mudanças na dinâmica familiar, rotina pessoal e modificação de repertórios de comportamentos, como conseqüências do tratamento médico prolongado, episódios de internação hospitalar, exposição a procedimentos médicos invasivos e a protocolos de quimioterapia antineoplásica, além de vivências de ansiedade, dúvidas, medos e perdas. Constata-se, ainda, a necessidade de investigação, na literatura nacional, do processo de desenvolvimento de diferentes estratégias de enfrentamento adotadas por cuidadores de populações pediátricas submetidas a tratamento onco-hematológico. A literatura internacional aponta que são necessários mais estudos que investiguem o processo das mudanças psicossociais, ajustamento psicológico, adaptação e modificações nas estratégias de enfrentamento, ao longo das diversas etapas do tratamento.

Abstract
The American Academy of Pediatrics has provided clinical recommendations for palliative care needs of children. This article outlines the steps involved in implementing a pediatric palliative care program in a Midwest pediatric magnet health care facility. The development of a Pediatric Advanced Comfort Care Team was supported by hospital administration and funded through grants. Challenges included the development of collaborative relationships with health care professionals from specialty areas. Pediatric Advanced Comfort Care Team services, available from the time of diagnosis, are provided by a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals and individualized on the basis of needs expressed by each child and his or her family.
