Issues in the
pediatric nursing field
*You might be expecting and or experiencing
some emotional
and physical trauma that can occurre
while dealing with life or death. It
states moral
distress often occurs in high-stakes, high-stress health care environments.
This means working with children with illnesses such as cancer, obesity, cuts
and burns could possibly be very stressful. Research has shown nurses crying in
the break room, feeling extremely overwhelmed filled with sadness ,and worrying
themselves about feeling if they really did everything they could possibly do to prevent a death that
might occur and contemplating on how she can possibly continue to work in an
environment with such tragedy.
*It states perceptions and
awareness of the psychosocial issues experienced by children with cancer and
their families and their knowledge of psychosocial interventions. This means
children with cancer and their family’s goes through trails of emotional and
physical issues. Evidence has shown in long term late effects some people can cope well with minimal intervention, and
others may need intensive therapy and or intensive interventions to deal with
the emotional pain.
