This thesis delves into the challenges, interventions, and outcomes of pediatric home oxygen therapy (HOT), to provide a comprehensive literature review for healthcare professionals and families. The significance of HOT for children is em phasized, and a robust framework for nurses and caregivers is outlined.
The methodology utilized is a descriptive literature review, aided by using the PICO framework and conducting searches in databases like CINAHL, PUBMED, Medline, and Google Scholar. The collected articles were compared and analyzed.
As a result, the four studies revealed key points about pediatric home oxygen therapy, including the challenges faced by parents and caregivers, and emphasized the importance of effective coordination among healthcare providers, the need for respite care and educational support, and considering both parents and children's perspectives. Additionally, the studies explored how long-term oxygen therapy affects children's quality of life, influenced by disease severity, extrapulmonary manifestations, and nutritional support.
In conclusion, this comprehensive literature review deepened our understanding of pediatric home oxygen therapy and emphasized the need for further research and practical measures to improve care and support for children on home oxygen therapy.
