Resumen
El cáncer infantil representa un grave problema de salud pública a nivel mundial, pues no se cuentan con los recursos necesarios para la detección precoz de esta enfermedad, la mayor incidencia de niños con cáncer está concentrada a nivel de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, por este motivo la OPS consideró el desarrollo de protocolos clínicos y estándares de cuidado para mejorar la calidad de vida y la supervivencia del niño con cáncer. La propuesta de un Modelo Asistencial de Oncología Pediátrica con enfoque de Terapia Ocupacional pretende abordar los diversos tipos de cáncer infantil desde cualquier estadio de la enfermedad, lo cual evitará una disrupción en el desempeño ocupacional debido a las largas estancias hospitalarias, enfocándose en los contextos y entornos donde se desenvuelve, en las características del niño, sus valores, creencias y espiritualidad, pues dependiendo de estos factores se espera conseguir una mayor motivación y contribuir a una mejor calidad de vida.
Childhood cancer represents a serious public health problem worldwide, since the resources necessary for the early detection of this disease are not available. The highest incidence of children with cancer is concentrated in Latin America and the Caribbean, for this reason PAHO considered the development of clinical protocols and standards of care to improve the quality of life and survival of the child with cancer. The proposal of a Pediatric Oncology Care Model with Occupational Therapy approach aims to address the different types of childhood cancer from any stage of the disease, which will avoid a disruption in occupational performance due to long hospital stays, focusing on contexts and Environments where it develops, in the characteristics of the child, their values, beliefs and spirituality, depending on these factors are expected to achieve greater motivation and contributing to a better quality of life
