Preparation And Support By Nurses To Caregivers Of Children Diagnosed With Cancer In The Northwest Regions Of Namibia

Abstract

There have been several complaints that children diagnosed with cancer in the Northwest regions are discharged from the hospital while they are still sick, and that their caregivers are not taught how to take care of these children at home and told what to expect during the disease process. This has brought about a situation where caregivers are not returning their children for follow-up as scheduled and are, in some cases, taking their children to traditional healers. The prevailing situation regarding children with cancer, coupled with the absence of studies on caregivers of children diagnosed with cancer in the Northwest regions, provide support for the study. The study which is descriptive in nature, aimed at describing and exploring the preparation and support which nurses provide to the caregivers of children diagnosed with cancer in Northwest Regions. The study used both a quantitative as well as a qualitative approach. The quantitative approach was used to obtain the biographic data of the participants while the qualitative approach was used to explore the preparation and support that nurses provide to the caregivers of children diagnosed with cancer.
