The caregiver participation in treatment decision–making for children with cancer receiving chemotherapy is important because cancer is an uncertain prognosis. The purpose of this correlational descriptive study was to investigate caregiver participation in treatment decision–making for children with cancer receiving chemotherapy, and to explore the relationship among perceived self-efficacy, information support, and 85 caregiver participation in treatment decision–making for children aged 1 to 15 years with cancer receiving chemotherapy. The research instruments consisted of the Caregiver Participation in Treatment Decision–Making for Children with Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy Questionnaire and the Perceived Self-Efficacy in Treatment Decision–Making for Children with Cancer Questionnaire developed by the researcher, and the Information Support for Caregivers of Children with Cancer Questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reliability.94, .95 and .97, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Findings of this study showed caregiver participation in treatment decision–making for children with cancer receiving chemotherapy was moderate. Caregiver perceived self-efficacy had a statistically significant strong positive correlation with caregiver participation in treatment decision–making for children with cancer receiving chemotherapy (r =.69, p<.01) and information support had a statistically significant moderate positive correlation with caregiver participation in treatment decision–making for children with cancer receiving chemotherapy (r = .49, p<.01). These results should be used as the basis for planning nursing care and this research emphasizes on self-efficacy promoting and information support to improve caregiver’s decision to participate in treatment decision-making for children with cancer receiving chemotherapy.
