Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Leukemia is the most prevalent cancer in children under 15 and a leading cause of mortality in this age group. Nurses in palliative care play a vital role, offering holistic support—psychological, physical, social, and spiritual—to both the child and their family. This bibliographical review underscores the indispensable contribution of nurses in delivering compassionate and specialized care. By ensuring dignity and enhancing the quality of life, even during terminal stages, nurses profoundly impact the well-being of children with leukemia, highlighting the significance of their humanized approach in palliative care.
