Objective:To explore the experience and needs of symptom management care of parents of cancer children during chemotherapy so as to provide a reference for improving the level of symptom management.Methods:Between November 2018 and April 2019, phenomenological research method was used to conduct a semi-structured interview with 14 parents of cancer children in the stage of chemotherapy from two hospitals. Colaizzi seven step analysis was used to the data analysis.Results:The care experience of symptoms and adverse reactions of parents of children with cancer during chemotherapy was refined into two themes, namely the process of learning and growth, and the transformation of psychological adaptation. The main needs of care were information needs, communication needs and psychological support needs.Conclusions:Parents of children with cancer are learning and growing up in the process of treatment and symptom care, and there are many needs. Medical and nursing staff should work closely with the children and their parents to meet the parents' needs for knowledge, communication and psychological support for symptom care, improve the care experience of parents and alleviate the pain of children.

Objective:To preliminarily establish the multidisciplinary cooperative vaccination management model for pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases, and to explore its feasibility.Methods:In this prospective study a total of 150 children with hematological and oncological diseases visited immunization clinic of Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from March 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study. After establishing the multidisciplinary team, designing vaccination plan, staff training, implementation and quality control, a multidisciplinary immunization clinic was set up and the vaccination plan were implemented. The implementation rate of vaccination immunization, the HBsAb level and serum hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) level before and after treatment, the HBsAb level and serum immunoglobulin G antibody (IgG) levels of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) before and 6 months after immunization, the vaccine-related adverse reactions were assessed prospectively. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the differences of antibody level.Results:A total of 124 cases had been vaccinated as planned, with a coverage rate of 82.7%. Among these cases, the difference of HBsAb positive rate before and after treatment was significant (62.9% (78/124) vs.13.7% (17/124), χ2= 63.489, P<0.01). In 64 cases that completed three doses of hepatitis B immunization, there was a significant difference in HBsAb positive rate before and 6 months after immunization (6.3% (4/64) vs. 98.4% (63/64), P<0.01). In 40 cases that completed MMR immunization, the IgG antibody positive rate for measles (22.5% (9/40) vs. 82.5% (33/40), χ2 =31.746, P<0.01), mumps (22.5% (9/40) vs.82.5% (33/40), χ2 =28.872, P<0.01), rubella (25.0% (10/40) vs.62.5% (25/40), χ2 =11.429, P<0.01) before and 6 months after immunization were significantly different. Of the 421 doses of immunization, 25 (5.9%) doses reported controlled systemic or local adverse event. Conclusions:The immunization of pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases is of great importance. The newly-developed multidisciplinary cooperation immunization model for Chinese children with hematological and oncological diseases is feasible, and the immunization protocol is safe and has a certain effect.
