“…Other barriers such as having inadequate childcare and having to pay for childcare have been associated with a lack of breast cancer screening (Balas et al., 2020). Although research is limited on addressing childcare as a screening barrier, one study of the Canadian-based Nanny Angel Network , a free childcare charitable organization for mothers with cancer, showed that women with cancer are more likely to use these services if available (Cohen et al., 2017). Programs like the Nanny Angel Network offer potential models that can be explored and tailored to communities in the United States.…”

Racial disparities in breast cancer screening, morbidity, and mortality persist for Black women. This study examines Black women’s mammography beliefs and experiences with specific focus on barriers to mammography access in an urban city in the South East, United States. This retrospective, qualitative study used Penchansky and Thomas’ conceptualization of health care access as the framework for the data analysis. In-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted with 39 Black women. Structural and personal factors continue to create barriers to mammography among Black women. Barriers to mammography were identified for each of the Penchansky and Thomas five dimensions of access to care: accessibility, affordability, availability, accommodation, and acceptability. Clinical practice strategies to increase mammography screening in Black women must be multifactorial, patient-centered, and culturally congruent. Policy development must address the structural barriers to mammography screening through expansion of health insurance coverage and increased accessibility to health care.

“…Nurses play an important role in the treatment of children with dry eye; they not only perform clinical nursing work, but also play an important role in enhancing the child's mood, mentality, and safety. As a special medical group, nursing staff should pay close attention to children's physical diseases as well as their psychological reactions to the treatment process (15). In the process of child care, "people- oriented" is the core concept of nursing, which involves more patience and care ( 16), and will help to improve the treatment compliance of children and facilitate the building of a harmonious relationship between nurses and patients.…”

Background: After strabismus surgery, the local swelling of conjunctival wound will affect the uniform distribution of tears on the ocular surface, and the inflammatory reaction will affect the stability of tear film, which will easily lead to iatrogenic dry eye. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin A palmitate (VAP) eye gel application in dry eye and the advantages of Watson's theory of caring.Methods: Two hundred and forty children with dry eye after strabismus surgery treated in our hospital from September 2018 to September 2020 were selected as the study subjects, and were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the allocation ratio of 1:1. Watson's theory of care nursing was applied in the observation group, and VAP eye gel was additionally dropped into the eye. Mouse conjunctival goblet cells (GCs) were used to detect the effect of VAP on the growth of GCs. Treatment compliance, improvement of dry eye symptoms [Schirmer I test (SIT), tear film break-up time (BUT), and fluorescent staining (FL) score], inflammatory factor levels in tears, clinical efficacy, and parents' satisfaction were compared.Results: It was found that VAP eye gel could better promote the proliferation of GCs. After nursing and clinical treatment, the dry eye symptoms were improved in all included children, and improvements in the SIT, BUT, and FL scores were more obvious in the observation group. Watson's theory of care nursing could effectively improve the children's treatment compliance and parents' satisfaction.Conclusions: As a result, the application of VAP eye gel and Watson's theory of care nursing could effectively reduce the occurrence of dry eye after strabismus surgery, and were of great importance for improving the relationship between nurses and patients and building a harmonious hospital.

“…Many studies have suggested that the di culty associated with coordinating childcare and health care appointments contributes to role strain, frustration, and appointment noncompliance for patients [7-8, 10, 13]. To our knowledge, only one study has speci cally assessed childcare needs in cancer patients and the success of a supportive childcare intervention [13]. This study, conducted by Cohen et al, found that over 50% of mothers considered childcare to be their most overwhelming responsibility after their cancer diagnosis, and 75% indicated that a supportive childcare intervention allowed them to keep appointments that they would have otherwise had to miss [13].…”

Approximately one quarter of cancer patients are parents to young children. One unique challenge faced by this patient group is the di culty of accessing childcare support during medical appointments.Hospital-based childcare options could represent a solution to this problem, but to this point, no comprehensive scans have described existing on-site childcare centres. The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize on-site childcare services available to patients at North American hospitals. This information could inform the development of similar programs for cancer patients. MethodsUsing publicly available information, an environmental scan of the grey literature was conducted to investigate Canadian and American hospitals for the presence of childcare services. A standardized data collection tool was used to extract centre characteristics. ResultsTwenty-six childcare centres were identi ed across 161 hospitals. The majority of the centres were associated with pediatric hospitals (77%) and were located in the United States (69%). Only a single childcare centre was associated with a cancer hospital. All centres accommodated children between the ages of 3 and 8. Most centres were open for over 30 hours per week (77%) and were free of charge to users (89%). Other characteristics, including capacity and sta ng, varied widely. ConclusionsThese results represent an inventory of patient-accessible, on-site childcare services currently available at North American hospitals. Cancer patients who are also parents may especially need this kind of support, as they are at high risk for nancial toxicity.
