Abstract

Introduction: Identification of symptoms resulted from chemotherapy in children.Materials and Methods: In this study 46 children and adolescents who had chemotherapy in a pediatric oncology clinic of an oncology hospital were included. Sociodemographic questionnaire and Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale 1018 years were used as data collection tool.Results: In this survey the mean age of children with cancer was 13.47±2.14 years and the majority of them 41.3% were monitored with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis. The most common symptoms in children who had chemotherapy in hospital were fatigue 76.1% , feeling nervous 69.6% , alopecia 65.2% , nausea 60.9% and feeling sad 60.9% , while the least common symptoms were swelling in the arms/legs 8.7% and problems in urination 6.5% . The most troublesome symptoms were dizziness 66.6% , difficulty in swallowing 64.3% , pain 47.8% and hair loss 43.4% .Conclusions: It was seen that the children still experience high prevalence of posttreatment symptoms, they had more intense psychological symptoms and physical symptoms caused more discomfort

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışma çocuklarda kemoterapi tedavisine bağlı ortaya çıkan semptomların belirlenmesini amaçlamaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya bir yıl süresince bir onkoloji hastanesi çocuk onkoloji kliniğinde yatarak kemoterapi alan 46 çocuk ve ergen dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak, tanıtıcı bilgi formu ve “Memorial Semptom Değerlendirme Ölçeği” 10-18 yaş kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya alınan kanserli çocukların yaş ortalamasının 13,47±2,14 yıl olduğu ve büyük bölümünün %41,3 non-Hodgkin lenfoma tanısı ile izlendiği görülmüştür. Yatarak kemoterapi alan çocukların, tedaviden sonra bir hafta içinde en sık deneyimlediği semptomların; halsizlik %76,1 , sinirlilik %69,6 , saç dökülmesi %65,2 , bulantı %60,9 ve üzgün olma %60,9 , en az deneyimlediği semptomların ise el ve ayaklarda şişme %8,7 ve idrar yapma sorunları %6,5 olduğu saptanmıştır. En çok sıkıntı yaratan semptomlar ise baş dönmesi %66,6 , yutma güçlüğü %64,3 , ağrı %47,8 ve saç kaybıdır %43,4 .Sonuç: Tedavi sonrası çocukların halen yüksek prevelansta semptomlar deneyimledikleri, psikolojik semptomların daha yoğun yaşandığı ve fiziksel semptomların daha çok rahatsızlık yarattığı görülmüştür
