Establishing consensus on principles and competencies for the use of play in clinical practice in hospitals: An international Delphi study.

Although play has existed in paediatric hospitals for decades, a shared understanding of why and how healthcare professionals use play in clinical practice is lacking. This study aims to reach consensus on a common set of principles and competencies for play interventions and practices in hospitals. We conducted a three-round Delphi study that included healthcare professionals selected by hospital management.

A BEME review of educational programmes on the use of play in paediatric practice: BEME Guide No. 82.

Background: Play can help paediatric patients cope with hospitalisation. Education on the use of play for healthcare professionals (HCPs) is lacking, with playful interactions often occurring unsystematically without formal training. This scoping review systematically describe the frameworks, design, and evaluation methods of educational programmes for HCPs on the use of play in paediatric clinical practice.

Young children's perspectives on treatment and care: A qualitative study using narrative and play-based interviewing.

Purpose: To explore young children's (age 3-6 years) own experiences and perceptions of treatment and care when living with a chronic illness.

Design And Methods: The study employed a qualitative research design using a narrative and play-based interview approach. Individual face-to-face, narrative and play-based interviews were conducted with eight young children age 3-6 years with type 1 diabetes or cystic fibrosis.

Development of an intravenous chemotherapy intervention for children and adolescents with cancer administered by their parents at home (INTACTatHome).

Background: Families of children and adolescents with cancer strive to maintain routines and normalcy during the child's treatment trajectory that requires frequent hospital visits. Intravenous chemotherapy at home can reduce time spent on the frequent hospital visits and mitigate disruption in daily life. Studies on home chemotherapy for children and adolescents with cancer are limited, as is knowledge of family and health care professionals' needs, and knowledge required to inform adaptation or replication of interventions in other settings.

Play is a non-invasive, safe, and inexpensive intervention that can help children and adolescents better manage difficult aspects of hospitalisation. Play has existed in hospitals for decades but is emerging as an interdisciplinary scientific field. The field concerns all medical specialties and healthcare professionals working with children.

Implementation of an Innovative Technology Called the OR Black Box: A Feasibility Study.

. The operating room (OR) Black Box is an innovative technology that captures and compiles extensive real-time data from the OR, allowing identification and analysis of factors that influence intraoperative procedures and performances - ultimately improving patient safety. Implementation of this kind of technology is still an emerging research area and prone to face challenges.

Postgraduate Interprofessional Case-Based Learning in Childhood Cancer: A Feasibility Study.

This paper presents a feasibility study assessing the acceptability, demand, implementation, and practicality of postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning in childhood cancer at Copenhagen University Hospital-Rigshospitalet. Healthcare professionals included nurses, doctors, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, dieticians, nursing assistants, and professionals with a supportive function (teachers, secretaries, priests, and daycare workers). All participated in a postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning session.

Play interventions for paediatric patients in hospital: a scoping review.

Objective: Play is a non-invasive, safe and inexpensive intervention that can help paediatric patients and their families manage difficult aspects of being ill or hospitalised. Although play has existed in hospitals for decades, research on hospital play interventions is scarce. This review aimed to categorise and synthesise the last 20 years of research on hospital play interventions.

Sleep in hospitalized children and adolescents: A scoping review.

Hospitalized children and adolescents are at risk of short sleep and subsequent adverse health effects, but little is known about actual sleep duration, the factors that cause sleep disturbances in an inpatient pediatric setting, and what has been done to promote sleep in this population. The aim of this review was to systematically identify, categorize, and synthesize the literature on sleep in children and adolescents in an inpatient setting. We searched five electronic databases (PubMed, CENTRAL, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus) and of the 3770 references identified, 28 were eligible for inclusion.

Twelve tips for postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning.

Based on developing, implementing, and evaluating postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning, we have written these twelve tips for health education planners who wish to apply case-based learning in the clinical setting. Interprofessional case-based learning engages participants in a structured manner towards uncovering decisions processes and patterns of action that resemble the clinical reality in which various healthcare professionals handle multifaceted tasks related to the optimal patient treatment. Postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning has the potential to break down traditional hierarchical structures as interactions generate respectful behaviour.

Interprofessional versus monoprofessional case-based learning in childhood cancer and the effect on healthcare professionals' knowledge and attitudes: study protocol for a randomised trial.

Background: Interprofessional education in childhood cancer is a multifaceted field involving multiple healthcare professionals with general and specialised knowledge and skills. Complex treatment, care and rehabilitation require continuous professional development and maintenance of healthcare professionals' competencies in their field of expertise. However, limited knowledge exists in comparing interprofessional and monoprofessional education.

Back to school with telepresence robot technology: A qualitative pilot study about how telepresence robots help school-aged children and adolescents with cancer to remain socially and academically connected with their school classes during treatment.

Aim: To explore how an AV1 telepresence robot helps school-aged children and adolescents with cancer to remain socially and academically connected with their school classes during cancer treatment.

Design: Qualitative pilot study.

Methods: Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with school-aged children and adolescents ( = 3, 12-14 years) diagnosed with cancer, their parents ( = 3), teachers ( = 2), classmates (12-14 years,  = 15, focus group interviews) and healthcare professionals ( = 4).

Establishment of consensus on content and learning objectives for an interprofessional education in childhood cancer: a Delphi survey.

Background: Complex treatment, care and rehabilitation require continuous healthcare professional development and maintenance of competencies in collaboration with other professionals. Interprofessional education in childhood cancer involves several groups of healthcare professionals with both general and specific knowledge and skills.

Objective: To establish consensus on content and interprofessional learning objectives for an interprofessional education in childhood cancer.

Unmet need for interprofessional education in paediatric cancer: a scoping review.

Purpose: Despite improved treatment and care, children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer continue to die, while many of those cured are burdened by treatment-related sequelae. The best clinical management of children and adolescents with cancer depends on healthcare professionals with various skills and expertise. Complex treatment, care and rehabilitation require collaboration between healthcare professionals.

[Facilitations for medical education should be taken into consideration when designing new hospitals].

Based on trends in medical education and in patient management we discuss how new hospitals can be designed to focus on healthcare education. Hospitals have a major commitment and responsibility in the education of all kinds of undergraduate and postgraduate healthcare professionals, and this calls for dedicated environments. New hospitals must be designed not only for patient management, but also for healthcare education.
