We aimed to review the recent research on the childhood cancer symptom experience pertaining to socioeconomic factors, biology and genetics, growth and development, family psychosocial dynamics, and social and treating environments to begin to formulate recommendations for a personalized approach to symptom management.
Cancer symptoms are common and distressing in children and negatively impact child and family quality of life. Many interacting factors influence children's cancer symptoms experiences, including the assessment and management of such symptoms. This paper highlights several gaps in the research related to the cancer symptom experience including routine symptom assessment, the impact of socioeconomic, biological, and genetic factors on symptoms, and the establishment of effective symptom management partnerships with families. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations related to that research which is ready to be implemented into clinical practice and areas for needed future efforts.
本研究旨在综述与社会经济因素、生物学和遗传学、生长发育、家庭心理社会动态以及社会和治疗环境相关的儿童癌症症状体验的最新研究，以期为症状管理的个性化方法制定建议。
癌症症状在儿童中很常见且令人痛苦，并对儿童及其家庭的生活质量产生负面影响。许多相互作用的因素影响儿童的癌症症状体验，包括对这些症状的评估和管理。本文强调了与癌症症状体验相关的研究中的几个空白，包括常规症状评估、社会经济、生物学和遗传学因素对症状的影响，以及与家庭建立有效的症状管理伙伴关系。基于我们的发现，我们提出了与该研究相关的建议，这些建议已经准备好被应用于临床实践，并为未来需要努力的领域提供了方向。
