Purpose:
Nursing care for children with cancer and their families presents various problems in Japan. Many nurses have limited experience in the care for children with cancer and there are no benchmarks for providing such care.

Guidelines were developed according to clarified 9 important domains. 23 nurses wrote each domain as chapters and 9 mild disciplinary professionals audited the guidelines.

Each chapter has guiding principles at the top of the chapter. 2) Examination of the guidelines:
In annual seminar of pediatric oncology nursing in 2007, the guidelines were distributed as a first draft and 111 participated nurses were asked to utilize the guidelines in their every day care. After 3 month later, consented nurses answered the questionnaire and 4 nurses answered in a focus group interview about the items and contents to be modified or revised. Nurses asked for evidence-based nursing care guidelines.
