Abstract The “Young Generations” working group of the French Society for Palliative Care launched in 2021 the online platform “Life, Death … Shouldn’t we talk about it?”. This website is a toolbox to help education professionals, school medicine, and parents to open spaces for expression on the issues of end of life, death, and bereavement with children and adolescents. This platform can support oncology professionals in their care of patients and their families, in their links with other hospital services and schools, and in their efforts to disseminate a pedagogy of finitude.

Abstract Every year in France, 1,850 children under the age of 15 and 450 adolescents aged 15 to 17 develop cancer and 20% of these paediatric cancers remain incurable today. In these situations, young people can be accompanied by a pediatric palliative care team, in close collaboration with pediatric oncology services. One of the missions of these teams is to encourage the young person to continue his or her schooling, in a regular environment if medically possible and desired by the young person. However, very few studies have focused on the specificities of a regular schooling environment in a palliative or… More >

Abstract Although rare, a diagnosis of a childhood cancer often has a major impact not only on the sick child, his or her family, and friends but also on his or her school environment. Absenteeism secondary to treatment, side effects, and the various cognitive problems that the disease can cause may lead to school dropouts. However, reintegration into a life that is as normal as possible is desirable and contributes to the child’s emotional stability. It requires the collaboration of many people, including teachers, who play an essential role in this path back to normality. Various studies have shown that the… More >

Abstract The spiritual component characterizes one of the major foundations on which the practice of palliative care leans on. However, in the French context, this component remains little explored from the patients’ point of view. This study aims to explore the spiritual dimension and the place of spiritual accompaniment in patients with an incurable disease. To this end, semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 patients in palliative care. A thematic content analysis was carried out. Findings show that spirituality is a complex issue, generally defined as a search for meaning. Spiritual needs relate to the need for recognition, connection to others,… More >

Abstract This article presents the clinical and ethical issues that emerged during our research in psycho-oncology. This research addresses the communication between oncologists and their patients, and pediatric oncologists and parents of sick children at a particular moment of the cancer care pathway: when they are informed about cancer treatment resistance and the absence of known curative treatment. The implementation of this study requires taking into account its emotional and psychological aspects. First, we present the issues related to the participants’ recruitment: how and when to contact them? Then, we question the potential impact of this research on the participants’ psychological… More >

Abstract Aim: This retrospective and cross-sectional study aims to understand the long-term experience of bereaved parents in pediatric oncology and gender differences in parental bereavement.
Procedure: A multisectional questionnaire co-constructed with clinicians and bereavement specialists was held online in 2018 and 2019. The survey participants were parents whose child had died in the hematology-oncology department of the CHU Sainte-Justine 2 to 18 years before. Specific sections on reactions, changes, and memories were used for descriptive analyses.
Results: Responses from 48 parents were analyzed. The results indicate that mothers tend to modify some of their social activities, while fathers seek to regain… More >

Abstract Based on the report of the Interministerial Mission of Vigilance and Combat against Sectarian Abuses which notes the risk of devoting support care to the benefit of sectarian drifts, the author discusses the representations of psychological and psychological care given to cancer patients.

Abstract The issue of sexual health is not yet fully integrated into the consultation process by practitioners and not significantly integrated by other stakeholders in the cancer care pathway. However, it is known and increasingly documented that these are issues of concern for patients and their partners, who consider, for the vast majority, that their sexual health and/or their parental plans are important issues. For more than 10 years now, a French language group of experts (GEX– Oncosexuality/oncofertility expert group of the Association francophone pour les soins oncologiques de support), composed of professionnals involved in oncology, reproductive or sexuality medicine (e.g.,… More >
