Item Valoración del dolor e intervenciones del profesional de enfermería en pacientes oncológicos pediátricos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Fontalvo Barreto, Valentina; Vanegas Malagón, Juliana; López Lucio, Nathalia; Rivera Romero, Viviana (Directora)Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death from disease in the pediatric population in developed countries and the second most common cause of death in children over one year of age. Thus, cancer pain has a multifactorial etiology and can occur in very different clinical contexts, which is why it requires the use of different strategies. The objective of this article was to analyze the perception of nursing professionals regarding pain management in pediatric oncology patients according to a methodology that was based on a systematic review, taking into account the PRISMA protocol. The search for articles is carried out in the databases PubMed, ScoPus, Science Direct. Where DeCS and MeSH terms were used. Results: Among the intervention factors, the following aspects affect pain management; Specific training, Work experience, Pain management protocol, Level of knowledge, Physical signs, Scales, Personal, Family, Environmental. Like protective factors, there are also barriers that can limit or alter the efficient management of pain management that the nursing professional can carry out, where it is found from the professional assessment and from the organization. On the other hand, the nursing professional specialized in pediatrics shows that pain management is a highly complex issue, requiring intuitive, technical and clinical knowledge. The use of mechanisms and/or tools for pain management is essential for adequate management in this process. Within the review of articles, it is evident that the evaluation is carried out with validated scales, highlighting the following: FLACC, EVA and EVS, whose choice varies depending on the age of the person. Conclusions: In the management of pain in pediatric oncology patients, different sociocultural factors intervene that modulate the perception of pain, as well as the intensity, frequency of pain, and factors specific to the child, integrating the capacity of health personnel, vision of parents, environmental and organizational factors.
