Perceptions of healthcare professionals regarding home-based pediatric cancer care provided in French: A qualitative descriptive study
Abstract
Goal: This study aims to explore how healthcare professionals perceive home-based pediatric cancer care provided in French.
Methodology: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using semi-directed individual interviews of 22Â healthcare professionals. A thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews was carried out independently by two members of the research team.
Findings: Pediatric cancer care is readily available in French in Quebec, but access to French-language services in Ontario is limited. The possible causes and effects of this lack of access and potential solutions are discussed in this paper.
Conclusion: The perceptions compiled in this study should be taken into account to help provide quality home-based pediatric cancer care in French.
Keywords: healthcare delivery, oncology, pediatric, home-based care, French language
