- Abstract
Human needs are innate and general-human motivational experiences that influence behaviour. The more a need is frustrated, the more it manifests itself in a person's behaviour. We can understand, support, or influence a mother's behaviour only by discovering needs that are not contented at the time. The mother of the child with oncological diagnosis can experience frustration of her biological or psycho-emotional needs. The psycho-emotional needs are: the need for protection and emotional safety, the need to be loved and to love, the need for stability and emotional self-control, the need to be appreciated and the need for self-esteem. In this piece of work we will explain how frustration of emotional needs of the mother of a child with oncological diagnosis can influence her behaviour. Understanding this dynamics is necessary for the nurse to be able to support or influence the mother's behaviour. It is well-known that at any child's age, especially in acute or chronic illness, the mother and the mother's emotional balance have an important role in achieving therapeutic compliance and clearly influence the emotional balance of the child.
