Teoría transicional del cuidado en la tención de niños con enfermedades oncológicas.

Cancer is a term that encompasses various diseases, and due to its nature, it can affect any part of the body and is caused by different risk factors. Although it is considered the second leading cause of death worldwide, survival rates for all age groups are increasing for many types of cancer, thanks to scientific advancements. This research aimed to analyze the Transitional Care Theory in the care of children with oncological diseases through a bibliographic review to propose nursing interventions focused on the child and the family. Using Google Scholar as a meta-search engine and after applying inclusion criteria, 47 articles published in databases such as Dialnet, SciELO, and Health Journals between 2019 and 2024 were selected. Upon analyzing and discussing the Transitional Theory, a fundamental conceptual framework in nursing, the theory seeks to understand and facilitate the processes of change and adaptation that individuals experience throughout their lives. In conclusion, it was determined that applying the Transitional Care Theory in nursing for children with oncological diseases allows for care focused on the individual and family clinical and psychosocial needs, including understanding their unique experiences, anticipating physical and emotional needs, and providing support through groups where they can share experiences. Keywords: nursing care, child, cancer pain, caregivers, transition from hospital to home.
