Musical dynamics in the sensitization of nursing students in the face of palliative care in pediatric oncology
Abstract Objective: To analyze the applicability of musical dynamics for nursing students in respect to palliative care in pediatric oncology. Methods: A qualitative research using the creative and sensitive method was developed in 2016 in the School of Nursing of a federal university in Rio de Janeiro. 'Musical Body' dynamics was used with ten students in the last year of the graduation course with data being submitted to thematic analysis. Results: The dynamics favored reflection on coping strategies and improving the care provided to children besides reinvigorating the healthcare team. It prompted reflection on empathy, unpreparedness and lack of opportunity to experience pediatric oncology and mourning and was thus an approximation to practical experience. Participants emphasized the possibility of using musical dynamics in the professional setting. Conclusion: Musical dynamics proved to be a useful strategy to sensitize nursing students about palliative care in pediatric oncology.
