Article Abstract

Child-centered communication in pediatric oncology can be challenging. We aimed to review communication interventions with children about cancer treatment and prognosis to identify potentially effective child-centered communication models and approaches. We updated a previous review on communication interventions in oncology and searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and PsychINFO for studies indexed between October 2019 up to October 2022. We further searched for ongoing studies on ClinicalTrials.gov. Communication interventions targeting pediatric oncology patients (below 18 years), with outcomes of communication, psychological symptoms or satisfaction in the target population were eligible. We identified 685 titles/abstracts, screened the full text of 34 studies and included only one published study and two ongoing studies. The published study tested a communication tool to help clinicians inform adolescents about treatment options and facilitate shared decision-making. No communication models were identified. We drew on knowledge from existing studies and guidelines to develop a new child-centered communication model.

Purpose: Extratherapy generalization, defined as the transfer of sounds learned in the training environment to spontaneous speech outside the clinical setting, is a crucial yet underexplored facet of speech therapy in children with a cleft palate with or without a cleft lip (CP ± L). This study aimed to explore how speech-language pathologists (SLPs) experience and structure treatment activities to achieve extratherapy generalization in this population.

Method: Fourteen SLPs, aged between 29 and 49 years, were included.

Headache represents one of the most prevalent and disabling conditions in the pediatric population, with significant repercussions on mental and psychological well-being, as well as on academic achievement and social functioning, ultimately leading to a marked reduction in quality of life. Currently, the diagnosis of headache is based on the clinical criteria of the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). However, the characteristics of headache may differ between adults and children, as well as the ability of children to provide a complete description of the pain and associated symptoms.

Introduction: Smartphones have become central to everyday life, especially among children and adolescents. While they provide opportunities for communication, learning, and entertainment, growing concerns persist regarding their association with negative outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and reduced social and cognitive development. Despite the prevalence of these concerns, children's own perspectives are often overlooked in debates about smartphone regulation and education.

Unlabelled: Despite the recognized importance of trust in pediatric healthcare, the concept of "trustful relationships" between children and healthcare professionals (HCPs) remains poorly defined, leading to inconsistencies in clinical practice and education. This study aims to define and clarify the concept of "trustful relationships" between pediatric patients aged 2 to 12 years and HCPs. It seeks to identify key attributes, antecedents, and consequences of these relationships and to develop a conceptual framework for future research and practice.
