CAPACITACIÓN DE INTRODUCCIÓN A LA PSICOONCOLOGÍA: Psicooncología pediátrica (Clase 9)

In this third module, we begin by discussing pediatric psycho-oncology. The speaker is Gabriela Benítez, a specialist in child and adolescent psycho-oncology, who explains the importance of considering the stages of child development and the differences between the care provided to children and adults with cancer. She also highlights the fundamental role of the family, especially the parents, in treatment, and the importance of play as a therapeutic tool for children to maintain their sense of play despite the illness. Topics covered include the phases of cancer treatment, the family's coping mechanisms, and the need for an interdisciplinary approach that includes psychological support to improve the quality of life for pediatric patients and their families.
