Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to determine the effect of an occupation-based nursing program (OBaNuP) on chemotherapy-induced symptoms and satisfaction in pediatric oncology patients.
Data Sources
This study was a randomized controlled trial. The study sample consisted of 60 hospitalized children with cancer who were aged 7 to 12. Participants were randomly assigned to an OBaNuP (intervention group, n = 30) or clinical routine care only (control group, n = 30). The intervention group participated in an OBaNuP for an average of 30 minutes per day for 5 days. The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale 7-12 and Psychosocial Symptoms in Hospitalized Children and Child Satisfaction Questionnaire were completed by participants at baseline, the first meeting immediately after intervention, and 7 days and 14 days after the intervention.
Conclusion
The average scores of chemotherapy-related symptoms differed over time between the intervention and control groups (P < .05). The psychosocial symptom score averages of the children in the intervention group significantly decreased at all time points compared to the control group (P < .05). The satisfaction mean scores of the children in the intervention group increased significantly at all time points compared to the control group (P < .05).
Implications for Nursing Practice
The OBaNuP initiative supported the decrease of chemotherapy-related and psychosocial symptoms, while also promoting an increase in satisfaction among children undergoing cancer treatment at the hospital consistently over all observed time periods.
