Nursing Care for Children with Hydrocephalus: A Literature Review

Abstract

This study was conducted to review nursing care for caregivers of children with hydrocephalus and having shunt. In the literature, it has been stated that counseling the caregivers of children with hydrocephalus about shunt care will reduce the difficulties experienced in the care and follow-up of the shunt, and that it can prepare the caregivers emotionally while struggling with the difficulties they will encounter. In this review, the problems that may arise in shunt care and the issues to be considered in nursing care were summarized. It is important that the problems that arise about the care of the shunt are determined by the caregivers who take care of the child with hydrocephalus. Nurses have an important role in helping caregivers cope with disease management, supporting them and reducing the negative effects of the caregiver role.

"The truest guide for everything in the world, for civilization, for life, for success, is science. Seeking a guide outside of science and science is heedlessness, ignorance, and deviating from the right path. It is only necessary to understand the development of science and science in every minute we live and to follow the progress in time. To attempt to apply the rules of science and science a thousand, two thousand, and thousands of years ago, today, after so many thousand years, is, of course, not to be in science and science."
