Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to allow childhood leukemia and lymphoma patients to describe their disease and treatment processes from their own perspectives. A total of 7 children participated. They ranged in age from 12 to 16 years and were either off therapy or had completed at least long-term hospitalization of treatment. Six semistructured interview questions were used to guide the interviews. A total of 9 themes have been defined in three different categories: perception and interpretation, experiences and psychosocial effects. These themes are: 1) identification / interpretation of disease, 2) advice to others 3) future plan, 4) being in hospital, 5) treatment and side effects, 6) social isolation and changes in relationships, 7) reactions and interactions, 8) coping and 9) psychosocial development. It has been concluded that children who experience childhood cancers, have some psychosocial problems related to the disease and treatment process. Especially the need for pediatric oncological social work practices has been emphasized in solving these problems.
