title: Emotional labour: the challenges of working with children and cancer.
abstract: This article explains the concept of emotional labour and applies it to working with children with cancer. Emotional labour describes active management of the emotions, and the use of emotion as part of the work that is required in many jobs, particularly nursing. Although emotional labour is an important part of nursing work, it is often neglected or taken for granted.
