Background: Child cancer care is becoming increasingly successful, the treatment brought more success through intensified therapy, but this development has not been easy to achieve due to the pain and anxiety that the treatment often causes. It is not possible to eliminate the chaos the family experiences, but it can be reduced through a deepened understanding of the situation. Purpose:The aim of the study is to highlight families views on participation in childhood cancer care. Method:A qualitative design, appropriate to gain a holistic view, has been chosen. Eight families with children diagnosed with cancer, of various ages and gender and from various backgrounds, participated in five interviews each during the first year of the child´s illness. Findings:The families constitute a cornerstone in paediatric oncology care today, but the results indicate that all the various tasks and commitments for the families, sometimes entail too heavy a burden. They are in need of better support and clearer instructions to be able to cope with the situation including rules and measures concerning the child. Therefore, it is urgent to clarify who has the formal responsibility for medical consequences that might occur in connection with delegated responsibility. The study shows that there is a lack of pedagogical thought and a need to create a pedagogical model. Conclusion:There is a need for guiding principles and education for the parents, which would contribute to their increased confidence.

“…When I searched the literature for what was known about boundaries, I found that little is known about how nurses manage or maintain boundaries. A few studies described professional boundaries in pediatric practice (Ford & Turner, 2001;Hawes, 2005;Totka, 1996). However, no study to date explored specifically how nurses in PPC settings navigate personal and professional boundaries.…”

“…Nurses must develop the skills necessary to inspire trust and maintain a professional relationship with children of all ages and levels of emotional and psychological development. Compassion, conscience and commitment to the therapeutic relationship by the nurse should not demand or require reciprocation from the child and family (Hawes 2005). Caring and compassion are difficult to quantify and therefore the interpretation of caring compassionate behaviours can be subjective for the nurse and also the child and family (Davidson and Williams 2009) Nurses, along with children and their families can find the parameters of the therapeutic relationship vague, however it is the nurse who must guide the relationship towards a professional interaction based on the child's care and needs (NMC 2008).…”

Aims and Intended learning OutcomesThe aim of this article is to assist the reader to conduct a critical review of the therapeutic relationship between the children's nurse, child and family, identifying areas for practice development. Therapeutic relationships can be defined in a variety of ways and compose differing components. By undertaking the time out activities you will be able to: Define the term 'therapeutic relationship' from a child, young person, family and nurses' perspective  Discuss the key skills required to develop an effective therapeutic relationship  Discuss the roles and responsibilities of nurses in the development of effective therapeutic relationships when caring for children, young people and families  Identify challenges to the development and maintenance of a therapeutic relationship within children and young people's nursing  Review how the 6C's can enable nurses to clarify and apply the key components of therapeutic relationships.
