  • Title: Constipation in paediatric oncology.
    Author: Selwood K.
    Journal: Eur J Oncol Nurs; 2006 Feb; 10(1):68-70. PubMed ID: 16377241.
    Abstract:
    Constipation is a common problem encountered by many children during treatment for childhood cancer. It can be distressing and impact on the quality of life for the child. However, the advice and information they and their families receive can vary enormously. The clinical practice group (a subgroup of the paediatric oncology nurses forum (PONF)) decided to examine the management of constipation throughout the paediatric oncology units in the UK. This paper presents the findings and the subsequent action taken and highlights the need for further work.
