[edit]Psychosocial Care
[edit]Play Therapy
[edit]One type of psychosocial care for children with cancer is play therapy, which means that the child is using an essential part of childhood to increase mental and physical well-being while reducing the negative emotions that come from being in the hospital. There are multiple times of play therapy, including medical play, pretend play, or direct play[1].
In children with Leukemia, it has been found that play therapy decreases adverse psychosocial outcomes, like pain and fatigue[1].
Palliative Care
[edit]Aspects such as pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and anxiety were improved in children with the use of specialty palliative care. Their overall quality of life improved, with some children experiencing fun events towards the end of life. Families gained positive satisfaction from these programs[2].
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
[edit]Using video game intervention as a means of cognitive behavioral therapy has improved self-efficacy, treatment adherence, and cancer-related knowledge in children[3].
Wish-Fulfilling Interventions
[edit]Upon using wish-fulfilling services, children's scores of anxiety and depression decreased and their sense of hope and positive emotions increased. Wish-fulfillment services ask a child of their wish and then grant it in the following months[3].
