Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de pediatrik onkoloji hastalarının bakım verenlerine uygulanan psikososyal girişimlerin ruhsal semptomlara olan etkisini inceleyen araştırmaların incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir.
Yöntem: Deneysel ve yarı deneysel araştırmalar PRISMA protokolü doğrultusunda dokuz veri tabanında; (Pubmed, Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Google Akademik, Web of Science, Ulusal Tez Merkezi, ULAKBİM), Ocak 2010-2021 tarihleri arasında başlık ve özete göre tarandı. ‘Kanserli çocuk’ veya ‘pediatrik onkoloji, ‘psikososyal uygulamalar’, ‘hemşirelik’, ‘ruhsal semptomlar’, ‘bakım verenler’ veya ‘ebeveynler’ anahtar sözcükleri Türkçe ve İngilizce olarak kullanılarak veri tabanlarında arama yapıldı. Referans yönetimi için Endnote X9 kullanıldı. Araştırmaların kalite indeksi Joanna Briggs Enstitüsü’nün kontrol listeleri kullanılarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Derlemeye beş araştırma dahil edildi. Dahil edilen araştırmaların üçü doktora tezi, ikisi ise bireysel araştırmadır. Psikososyal girişim olarak teori temelli hemşirelik uygulaması, psikoeğitim programı, tedavi ve hastalığa uyuma yönelik eğitimlerin verildiği belirlendi. Psikososyal girişimlerin, bakım verenlerin hastalığa yönelik belirsizlik ve umutsuzluk algısı, kaygı düzeyi, bakım yükü, depresyon ve ruhsal sorunlarını azalttığı; yaşam doyumu ve stresle baş etme becerilerini arttırdığı belirlendi.
Sonuç: Pediatrik onkoloji hastalarının bakım verenlerine uygulanan psikososyal girişimlerin bakım verenlerin ruhsal sorunlarını azaltma ve iyilik hallerini arttırmada olumlu etkiye sahip olduğu belirlendi. Bu müdahalelerin etkinliğini iyileştirmek ve potansiyel etkilerini yaygınlaştırmak amacıyla daha fazla çalışmaların yürütülmesi önerilmektedir.
