Abstract
GONZALEZ-CARVAJAL, Jessica; SIEFER-NAVAS, Isabel and GONZALEZ-NAHUELQUIN, Cibeles. Experiences of mothers taking care to your child with cancer: a look from transcultural nursing. Index Enferm [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.3, e14423. Epub Mar 04, 2024. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/indexenferm20236330.
Transcultural nursing allows us to assess care from the perspective of the families affected during the oncological disease process.
Main objective:
The purpose of the study was to understand the experiences of mothers caring for their child with cancer from the perspective of transcultural nursing.
Methodology:
Qualitative study with an exploratory design. Semi-structured interviews were applied to mothers of children and adolescents with cancer in a health center in Valparaíso, following project approval by the Bioethics Committee of the University of Valparaíso. Thematic content analysis, following Bardin's approach, was carried out.
Results:
Four themes emerged: (1) Value of care, (2) Care practices and health beliefs, (3) Religious beliefs and (4) Support networks.
Main conclusion:
The mothers' experiences highlighted the importance of incorporating the sociocultural factors proposed by Leininger into care planning in order to support families during their child's illness.
Keywords : Mothers; Child; Neoplasia; Transcultural nursing.
