- BackgroundChildren with cancer often suffer side effects from their treatment, for example nausea and vomiting, which can lead to malnutrition. If a child cannot eat orally, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can improve his or her well-being, psychosocial development and growth by enabling the supply of nourishment and facilitating the administration of necessary medicines. Few data exist on children's comfort when using a PEG. The aim of this study was firstly to develop three versions of a web-based assessment tool in which children, families, and healthcare professionals would be able to register their observations and assessments for evaluating the meal situation when a child has a PEG and secondly to validate the content of the tool.MethodsA qualitative design was chosen with purposive sampling of participants. Five children with cancer, five parents, five registered nurses and five paediatricians participated first in an interview and then in a member check of the web-based tool. The data were analysed with manifest qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe results highlighted four categories of issues which needed to be revised in the web-based tool: words which were difficult for the participants to understand, items which contained several questions, items which needed to be split into more items to be answerable and the layout of the questionnaire. The web-based tool was revised according to the categories, and then a member check evaluated and finally confirmed the revisions.ConclusionsA web-based tool may be able to evaluate the meal situation when a child with cancer has a PEG. The tool may be able to detect early failures of the PEG, facilitating early action from the healthcare professionals in supporting the child and his or her parents in their care of the PEG. In the long run, this web-based tool may also be able to increase the quality of care of children living with a PEG.

- The overall findings of this study for each nurse was that they have new tool to combine their emotions with symbols, which could be one way of own empowerment to prevent burn out. One way in which to raise the quality of nursing in daily practice is to develop and improve the nurses´ reflections on nursing situations. This may be aided by a map that can indicate a possible route to achieving an overview of circumstances and of various choices for improvement, a route to developing one’s own competence and to finding moral courage in the exercise of professional care.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of the study was to describe and compare pupils' experience of teaching about cancer, when a nurse used two different formats of teaching material to teach pupils aged from 10 to 12 years. Pupils from schools in Western Sweden were randomised to either Imaginary Friends or SEE-HEAR-DO pictures. A total of 197 of 231 pupils (85%) participated, and a majority knew someone who had had cancer before, and thought it was valuable to get knowledge about cancer. The Imaginary Friends intervention group felt happier/more content and calmer/more relaxed, and less tense/nervous after the education about cancer. The SEE-HEAR-DO group felt happier/more content after the education, and were to a significantly higher extent stimulated to ask questions. Both Imaginary Friends and SEE-HEAR-DO pictures can be used as teaching materials for pupils. The use of SEE-HEAR-DO pictures may increase the interaction between the school nurse and the pupils.
