OBJECTIVES
The diagnosis of a serious illness in a child brings with it a marked impact not only on the child but also on his or her family group and all those around him or her, including health care personnel. The threats to the child’s integrity are multiple: the pain and discomfort produced by the symptoms, the changes in their daily activities, the limitations to lead a normal life, in their social context, and the difficulties in communication. This course will review how to assess and mitigate distress in children, tools for the assessment of distress, and ways to support the family and how professionals can help to ethically guide families in these diverse circumstances.
