“…This report is from a center with readily accessible child psychiatry consultation and a robust multidisciplinary psychosocial team. Only 17% of pediatric oncology centers have embedded child psychiatry, 19 and there is no consensus about how to treat steroid side effects in this population. Availability of other psychosocial providers is also variable and affects child and family coping with all aspects of treatment.…”

Corticosteroids are essential to treating childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and can cause significant neuropsychiatric side effects. This retrospective chart review is a preliminary exploration of characteristics associated with psychiatry consultation and steroid‐induced affective disorder (SIAD) during ALL treatment. Of 125 ALL patients (ages 1‐10 years), 56 (44.8%) received psychiatry consultation. Thirty‐nine (31.2%) of the total cohort were diagnosed with SIAD. SIAD was significantly associated with family psychiatric history, but not with steroid exposure, CNS radiation, sociodemographic factors, developmental delay, Trisomy 21, or prior psychiatric history. Gathering family psychiatric history may help identify children at increased risk of SIAD.

Objective: The objective of this review was to map the available evidence regarding the scope of child life specialist services, practice, and utilization. Introduction: Child life specialists are members of multidisciplinary health care system teams who prioritize the developmental needs of pediatric patients to support and improve patient and family health care experiences. Evidence of the effectiveness of child life specialist services and the utilization of those services is often incorporated in multidisciplinary research reports and thus overlooked. Inclusion Criteria: All quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research study reports and systematic reviews investigating child life specialist services, practice, and utilization in health care systems were included. Methods: This review was guided by the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and a published a priori protocol. CINAHL (EBSCOhost), MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, and PsycINFO (APA) were searched for evidence published from January 1980 to August 2022. Results: Research publications about child life specialist services, practice, and utilization have increased dramatically over the past decade with more than 50% of studies published in the last 5 years. Although the first authors of the majority of the research publications were physicians, these multidisciplinary author teams depicted child life specialist services in a variety of roles, including co-investigators, interventionists, and research subjects. The 105 full-text publications reviewed were from 10 countries and occurred across a wide scope of health care settings and medical subspecialties, but primarily in hospitals and health centers, and to a lesser extent, in ambulatory clinics and communities. A wide variety of child life specialist services were described across these settings. Conclusion: The concept of child life services began in 1922 and emerged as the child life specialist services specialty in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. Mapping the research can help delineate the barriers and facilitators to these services in health care systems. This scoping review provides evidence of the global diffusion of child life specialist services across health care system settings with recent increases in research publications involving child life specialist services.

“…Advancing them from paper to practice and idea to implementation requires a collective and coordinated effort. Recent initiatives have focused on raising awareness about the Standards, supporting their implementation within cancer care settings, and assessing their integration across disciplines to maximize efficiency and effectiveness (Jones et al, 2018;Kazak et al, 2018;Kazak et al, 2019;Scialla et al, 2017Scialla et al, , 2018Wiener, Canter, et al, 2020;Wiener, Kupst, et al, 2020).…”

Music Therapy for Children with Oncology & Hematological Conditions and Their Families: Advancing the Standards of Psychosocial Care

Background: Diagnosis and treatment of cancer and blood disorders in childhood, adolescence and young adulthood has a significant impact on patients and families. The Psychosocial Standards of Care project, initiated in 2012, resulted in 15 Psychosocial Standards (PSS) that guide the care patients and families receive throughout treatment. As members of the multidisciplinary psychosocial care team, music therapists play an important role in the advancing the PSS. Most surveys have focused on other commonly provided services (e.g., social work, child life), leaving gaps in our understanding about the availability and use of music therapy services to advance PSS. This paper offers an initial description of how music therapy services contribute to the provision of care under these Standards. Methods: We analyze how music therapy services promote PSS through synthesis of a music therapy clinical practice survey, published literature, and scope of practice documents. A brief overview of music therapy services structure, PSS that music therapy services currently address, and two clinical program descriptions are included. Results: Music therapy services address 9 of the 15 PSS and are well integrated within the larger program of psychosocial care. Findings suggest integration of music therapy services can help ensure personalized, comprehensive care and efficient use of often-limited psychosocial care resources. Discussion: Nurses, as members of the psychosocial and medical teams are uniquely positioned to identify patient and family care needs and refer patients for services. Understanding how music therapy services address PSS and most importantly, the needs of patients and families, will optimize their care.
