Introduction and aim: The first experience of the nursing
students in each unit might have a long lasting effect on
their point of view regarding their profession. The main
objective of this study was to investigate nursing students’
experiences on their first presence in pediatric oncology
units. Taking care of young cancer patients might be a considerable
challenge for the nursing students, as they must
face different special situations such as caring of terminally
ill kids, paying attention to the needs and fears of children
and their families.
Methodology: Unstructured interviews and anecdotal notes
were used to obtain students’ opinion and experiences about
taking care of children who are suffering from cancer. Qualitative
data analysis revealed seven different categories:
State of shock, getting lost and finding the way, swinging
moods of joy and sorrow, learning from the kids, forgetting
personal problems, understanding the power of therapeutic
play and palliative care, the sense of being useful and
doing something meaningful.
Conclusion: The first experience of the Nursing students
in the pediatric- oncology unit has moved them dramatically
and resulted in having a sense of satisfaction and usefulness.
This new experience has led them feel that they
were doing something really meaningful and made some
of them ponder of pediatric nursing as their future profession
to bring smile on the face of the children fighting for
their lives.
