Seminars in Oncology Nursing 2019 December
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the issues pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients face during and after a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and guide appropriate nursing care for patients with ALL in these young age groups.
DATA SOURCES: Peer-reviewed journal articles, published guidelines, patient and family resources, and data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program.
CONCLUSION: Nursing care of children, adolescents, and young adults with ALL requires a comprehensive approach that is appropriate for the developmental needs of patients in this age group.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Oncology nurses must be aware of the unique developmental challenges that pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients face while dealing with a diagnosis of ALL, and have knowledge of resources available for these patients to effectively guide them through treatment and its side effects, fertility options, psychosocial challenges, and survivorship.
