ادراک ارائه دهندگان انکولوژی اطفال از خدمات مراقبت تسکین دهنده: تأثیر عزت نفس و کارهای احساسی

The pediatric oncology providers in our study held a highly favorable opinion about their institution's PPCS and agreed that early consultation is ideal. However, they also described that formally consulting PPCS is extremely difficult because of what the PPCS symbolizes to families and the emotional labor that the provider must manage in introducing them. Interventions to encourage the early initiation of palliative care in this population may benefit from a focus on the emotional experiences of providers.
