Description
An account of the resource
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aimed to determine the content, mode of delivery, assessment, and outcomes of educational interventions to equip health and social care professionals (HSCPs) when delivering end-of-life (EoL) supportive care for parents dying with cancer who have dependent children. DATA SOURCES: The review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A search strategy was developed with assistance of subject librarians and peer-reviewed using the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies tool. A search of MEDLINE OVID, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ERIC electronic databases and gray literature was conducted. Quality assessment was conducted on included studies. Data synthesis was conducted using a convergent integrated approach. CONCLUSION: The review identified just two educational interventions, highlighting the dearth of educational interventions available to HSCPs to provide supportive care to families when a parent is at EoL with cancer. The identified interventions were of good methodological quality and were positively evaluated by participants, enhancing their confidence to engage in EoL conversations. It is imperative that interventions that use robust evaluation methods are developed and made accessible to HSCPs. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The review highlights the urgent need for the development of interventions for HSCPs to provide supportive care to families when a parent is at EoL with cancer. This is a fundamental aspect of care, and it is imperative that accessible educational interventions are developed to improve the quality of care and reduce distress for patients and their families.

An account of the resource
INTRODUCTION: Perinatal palliative care services are increasingly available globally, offering a range of clinical and psychological support services to families during pregnancy, in the neonatal period and following the death of a baby with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. Little is understood about the role of children's hospice care and how it contributes to effective perinatal palliative care. DESIGN: The study aims to answer the question "what is the role of children's hospices in the provision of perinatal palliative care and advance care planning in the United Kingdom?" METHODS: An electronic survey was sent to all 54 children's hospices in the United Kingdom between May and June 2022. RESULTS: Thirty hospices responded, representing 54% of the sector. All regions of all four counties are represented. Numbers of referrals to hospices for perinatal palliative care have increased significantly over the last 5 years. Hospices provide a range of services for families and babies, usually from the point of diagnosis or recognition of a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, underpinned with counseling and emotional support. Hospices worked with a range of professionals and services, most commonly fetal medicine and neonatal services. Advance care plans were an important element of effective perinatal palliative care, strengthening parent-professional and interprofessional relationships. CONCLUSION: Children's hospice services play an important and growing role in the perinatal care of babies and families following the diagnosis or recognition of a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. The family-centered approach to care, from a broad, biopsychosocial perspective means that hospices make a unique and meaningful contribution to both the clinical and psychological needs of families. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The family-centered approach to care, from a broad, biopsychosocial perspective means that hospices make an important contribution to both the clinical needs of babies, and psychological needs of families antenatally, in the neonatal period and after death.

Description
An account of the resource
Historically, the goal of care in a pediatric or neonatal intensive care unit was to do everything medically possible to cure illness or prolong life. When curative therapies were no longer appropriate, the approach was to turn to end-of-life care. Currently, some children are surviving illnesses that formerly resulted in death or significant disability. Their lives may be viewed as lacking in quality. A palliative care approach can be used in select pediatric populations to improve quality of life, clarify treatment decisions to be aligned with the child's goals and values, and minimize suffering.

An account of the resource
Background Family-centered care is an important concept underpinning care of children. Although much researched in some settings, little research has explored specialist settings, or areas where both children and adults are cared for, such as the emergency department. Methods This study sought to explore how nurses employ family-centered care in delivering care to children and families when a child dies in the emergency department. Using a descriptive, qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 emergency nurses from six Australian states. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Framework analysis was applied to examine alignment with family-centered care principles. Findings Nurses described providing support and education, and encouraged families to engage in care decisions, including about ceasing resuscitation efforts. Commonly, senior staff members were allocated during emergencies to support parents. Discussion Emergency nurses should be offered education on family-centered care, and research undertaken to explore families' experiences of their child dying in the emergency department. Practice Implication Family-centered care should be a focus for the care of children and their families in the emergency department, regardless of the pressure from rapidly occurring events.

Description
An account of the resource
Hospices for children and adolescents in the United Kingdom provide care to the bodies of deceased children in specially designed chilled bedrooms called "cool rooms." In an effort to develop resources to support hospice practitioners to provide this specialist area of care, this study aimed to identify the factors that influence decision making when moving and handling children's bodies after death in a hospice cool bedroom. An internet-based survey was sent to all practitioners employed by 1 children's hospice. A total of 94.9% of eligible staff responded (n = 56). An inductive approach to thematic analysis was undertaken, using a 6-phase methodological framework. Three core themes were identified that inform practitioners' perception of the appropriateness of moving and handling decisions: care of the body, stages of care, and method of handling. The complexity of decision making and variation in practice was identified. Practitioners relied on both analytical and initiative decision making, with more experienced practitioners using an intuitive approach. Evidence-based policy and training influence the perception of appropriateness and the decisions and behavior of practitioners. The development of a policy and education framework would support practitioners in caring for children's bodies after death, standardizing expectations and measures of competence in relation to moving and handling tasks.

Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND: Almost 50,000 children and young people are affected by life-limiting conditions in the United Kingdom, around a third of which use children's hospices. Anecdotal evidence suggests that cannabinoid-based medicines (CBMs), specifically cannabis oil (CO), are being used by families with increasing frequency to manage distressing symptoms. The use of most nonprescription CBMs in the United Kingdom remains illegal. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to identify the prevalence of CO use by families who use children's hospices in the United Kingdom, and the approaches taken by those services to manage it. DESIGN: An electronic survey was sent to each of the 54 children's hospices in the United Kingdom between May and July 2018, comprising 10 questions. RESULTS: Forty children's hospices from across the four countries of the United Kingdom responded to the survey, representing 74% of British children's hospices. About 87.5% of hospices knew of children who use CO therapeutically. Sixty-nine percent of those hospices have received requests to administer CO during an episode of care. Approaches by organizations around CO management varied across the sectors, including arrangements for storage, administration, and recording of its use. Hospices highlighted how the lack of available guidance made decision making more challenging. Only a third of responding organizations routinely questioned families about the use of cannabis when prescribing medicines. CONCLUSION: CO is used extensively by children who use children's hospices. Despite recognizing the use of CO, many hospices are unable to support it. There is a need for clear guidelines on how hospices should approach the care needs of children, allowing hospices to meet the needs of children who use CO, and families in a safe, consistent, and relevant way, safeguarding all children, families, and professionals within the organization.

Description
An account of the resource
Over the past decade, veteran parents who have lived a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience have become increasingly involved as 'resource parents' to provide peer-to-peer support to "new" NICU parents. These parents can provide a unique form of support to new parents. They can also assume other roles in clinical care, research, administration and/or teaching, but those roles are rarely described in the literature. This article reviews many of the activities performed by resource parents in neonatology. These activities were identified/examined and classified according to the location of involvement (hospital or not), the presence/absence of direct interaction with families and providers, and the topic of involvement. We have also identified gaps in knowledge relative to recruitment and training, development and evaluation of programs, structuring of responsibilities, and remuneration of resource parents. Future research is needed to measure the impact of resource parents on neonatal care.

Description
An account of the resource
This paper describes the key behaviors of "excellent" pediatric healthcare providers - a term used by fathers of children with complex, life-threatening illness to describe providers who consistently and effectively engage in family-centered care for children and their families. Using interview data from a multi-site grounded theory study of 60 fathers with a deceased child, five behaviors were identified: getting to know the family as individuals, talking about non-healthcare related topics, connecting in a human-human relationship, including parents as team members, and applying specialized knowledge to help the family. These behaviors are consistent with the goals of family-centered care, but they are inconsistently practiced, resulting in less-than-optimal care for children and their families during periods of crisis and vulnerability. A renewed focus on relationship building and interactions with families is needed, as well as a re-evaluation of the training of pediatric healthcare providers.

Abstract
Medium- and long-term outcomes have been collected and described among survivors of neonatal intensive care units for decades, for a number of purposes: (1) quality control within units, (2) comparisons of outcomes between NICUs, (3) clinical trials (whether an intervention improves outcomes), (4) end-of-life decision-making, (5) to better understand the effects of neonatal conditions and/or interventions on organs and/or long-term health, and finally (6) to better prepare parents for the future. However, the outcomes evaluated have been selected by investigators, based on feasibility, availability, cost, stability, and on what investigators consider to be important. Many of the routinely measured outcomes have major limitations: they may not correlate well with long-term difficulties, they may artificially divide continuous outcomes into dichotomous ones, and may have no clear relationship with quality of life and functioning of children and their families. Several investigations, such as routine term cerebral resonance imaging for preterm infants, have also not yet been shown to improve the outcome of children nor their families. In this article, the most common variables used in neonatology as well as some variables which are rarely measured but may be of equal importance for families are presented. The manner in which these outcomes are communicated to families will be examined, as well as recommendations to optimize communication with parents.
