Abstract

Abstract: Diagnosis of pediatric tumor can bring a series of psychosocial problems to the whole family，but it has not received enough attention in clinical practice.It is essential for oncologists，nurses and psychologists to evaluate the psychosocial factors that may affect patients and their families from the diagnosis to the end of treatment and provide appropriate support and intervention to improve their overall quality of life.We briefly described the impact of family financial burden in children with cancer，advances in research on psychosocial needs，assessment and intervention of children and their families，the research on pediatric cancer care and psychosocial education and its significance to the clinical practice.This study aimed to help healthcare providers of pediatric oncology pay attention to psychosocial problems of children with tumor，promote clinical practice and research，meliorate the mental health and quality of life of children and their families.

摘要： 儿童肿瘤一旦诊断，将会给整个家族带来一系列的心理社会问题，但在临床上仍未引起足够的重视。肿瘤科医生、护士和心理医生需评估肿瘤患儿及其家属在肿瘤诊断乃至治疗结束随访的全程中可能造成不良影响的心理社会因素，给予相应的支持和干预，以改善其整体的生活质量。本文简述家庭经济负担对肿瘤患儿的影响，患儿及其家属心理社会需求、评估及干预的研究进展，儿童肿瘤护理和心理社会教育相关研究及其对临床的指导意义，旨在提高儿童肿瘤医护人员对肿瘤患儿心理社会问题的关注，促进相关领域的临床实践及研究，改善患儿及其家属心理健康及生活质量。
