Description
An account of the resource
Content: The use of recreational, expressive, and integrative methods of providing supportive care to patients and families coping with cancer is growing in cancer treatment settings. One such method is animal-assisted interventions (AAI). From the clinic to the infusion suite, to the palliative care office, and to the inpatient hospice, the presence of therapy animals provides an another layer of therapeutic intervention to assist in coping with cancer. AAI can provide cancer patients with an opportunity for emotional support, diversion, recreation, sensory integration/tactile benefit, social support, companionship, and relief of distress and symptoms including pain, depression, anxiety, and isolation. Research also suggests that the simple act of petting a dog can lower heart rate and blood pressure (Friedman, 2015), as well as increase levels of oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins (Uyemura, 2013). Oxytocin influences happiness and trust in individuals. "Oxytocin has some powerful effects for us in the body's ability to be in a state of readiness to heal.so it predisposes us to an environment in our bodies where we can be healthier" (http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/03/09/146583986/ pet-therapy-how-animals-and-humans-heal-each-other). In addition, the therapy animal serves as a vehicle of communication, narrative, and storytelling. Imagine a patient sitting anxiously in the waiting room. He or she strokes the therapy dog gently and is taken to another time and place without cancer. He or she reflects on his or her own dog's roles in his or her life, how he or she rescued the dog, plays with the dog, sleeps with the dog. He or she is distracted, relaxed, and utilizing his or her own story to invoke feelings of happiness, normalcy, and hope. This presentation will examine the history, function, and roles of animal-assisted therapy and activities in various settings. The benefits of AAI with cancer patients (both adults and children) as well as with oncology professionals will also be presented. AAI as a method of integrative supportive oncology therapy will be addressed. The benefits of AAI as well as barriers and limitations for these programs in oncology settings will be reviewed. We will explore AAI program development and evaluation through presentation of results from quality improvement surveys completed by program participants. Suggestions for program development, volunteer recruitment and retention, and therapy dog support will also be discussed. Case presentations of AAI in action from various oncology settings will be a highlight of this presentation.

Description
An account of the resource
Two bereaved mothers recount how they made meaning after the deaths of their children, recounting how opportunities to tell their stories in medical settings enabled them to construct narratives that promoted resilience and a sense of control. Pediatric palliative care can be conceived as opening space for patients and guardians to tell their stories outside of the specifics of illness, so medical teams can work to accommodate families' values and goals, thereby initiating the process of meaning making. Viewing videos of parent stories enables medical trainees to enhance their communications skills, empathy, and compassion.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND: By sharing patient stories, health care professionals (HCPs) may communicate their attitudes, values and beliefs about caring and treatment. Previous qualitative research has shown that HCPs usually associate paediatric palliative care (PPC) with death or dying and that they find the concept challenging to understand and difficult to implement. Attending to HCPs' stories may provide a richer account of their understanding of PPC. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore PPC stories narrated by HCPs to gain increased insight into their understanding of what PPC entails. METHODS: This qualitative study collected data from four focus group interviews with 21 HCPs from different units in two Norwegian hospitals. Stories told by the HCPs to illustrate their comprehension of PPC were analysed following thematic analysis procedures. RESULTS: Four themes were identified illustrating what PPC meant to the participants: creating spaces for normality, providing tailored support for the family, careful preparations for saying goodbye and experiencing dilemmas and distress. The stories centred on family care, particularly relating to dramatic or affective situations when the death of a child was imminent. CONCLUSION: The stories reflect how the HCPs view PPC as a specific field of health care that requires particular professional sensitivity, including good communication, collaboration and planning. Thus, the HCPs in this study demonstrated knowledge about the core qualities needed to succeed in PPC. However, similar to previous research, the stories illustrate that how HCPs speak about PPC is strongly associated with end-of-life care, and by that the HCPs do not capture the breadth of the PPC concept. The findings highlight the importance of increasing knowledge about the meaning and content of PPC among HCPs in order to maintain quality of life for all children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions throughout their illness trajectory.
