Effect of Oral Mucositis Management Program on Symptom Status of Children with Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy
Keywords:
Symptom Management, Oral Mucositis, Children with CancerAbstract
Oral mucositis is a common side effect among children with cancer receiving chemotherapy and can have a profound impact on the child physically and psychologically. Oral mucositis should be managed to reduce severity. Previous studies insufficiently reduced symptom severity. The purpose of this one group quasi-experimental study was to compare severity levels of oral mucositis before and after receiving an oral mucositis management program based on the symptom management model of Dodd and colleagues and related literature. The purposive sample included 14 children with cancer aged between 8-15 years admitted to two tertiary hospitals and 14 of their primary caregivers. Data were collected using the World Health Organization Mucositis Scale. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test was used to analyze the data.
The findings revealed that the severity levels of oral mucositis after receiving the oral mucositis management program was significant lower than before receiving the program (z = -2.774, p < .01). The study provides information on strategies for collaborative oral mucositis management among nurses, primary caregivers and children. The result of the study can be used to manage oral mucositis of children with cancer receiving chemotherapy.
