description | ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain is one of the most persistent cancer symptoms. Non-pharmacological therapies are potential sources for cancer children care and should be considered alternatives for handling cancer signs and symptoms. This study aimed at identifying effective distraction interventions for pain relief and control of cancer children submitted to invasive procedures. CONTENTS: This is a systematic review carried out in electronic databases LILACS, CINAHL, CENTRAL Cochrane Library and Pubmed, using the combination of controlled and uncontrolled keywords: child, pain, cancer and distraction. Ten studies were identified addressing distraction as intervention for venous, muscle and subcutaneous punctures, and procedures related to bone marrow aspiration and lumbar puncture. CONCLUSION: Among identified interventions, there are virtual reality, practices such as blowing soap bubbles, use of warm pillows, party blower, electronic toys, among other selfselected interventions (music, games, books). Most interventions are easy to implement considering their low cost and are useful for health professionals looking at enhancing pediatric patients’ assistance with regard to pain management. |
