Brief Summary:
Aim of present study is to evaluate the efficacy of hospital school experience in the reduction of distress, pain and negative emotion in children from 8 to 12 years old, hospitalized in oncology and pediatric wards. Investigators also want to explore the ideas and opinions of teachers and parents about hospital school service.
Hypothesis: the investigators expect a reduction in pain, distress and negative emotions.
Detailed Description:
The school service into the hospital was born as an attempt to support emotionally, relationally and cognitively the hospitalized children, who have to spend a lot of time alone, without being educated by teachers with their classmates. There are not many studies in the Italian contest about this issue and with the present study the investigators intended to implement the acknowledgement about this theme.
The principal aim of this study is to explore if the school service reduces negative emotions experienced by oncological children as well as perceived pain and distress. To evaluate this aims, the investigators organized the study in 3 sections: the first is about the emotions experienced by oncological children between 8 and 12 years old, who benefit from the school service into the hospital; the second is about their parents' opinions and believes about the hospital school service; the third is about opinions, training and educational method dedicated by hospital school teachers and not hospital school teachers (who previously thought to our oncology children sample).
