Abstract

As a result of the medical progress in the field of pediatric oncology, childhood cancers are seen as a chronic life-threatening disease rather than an acute or terminal disease. While methods used in cancer treatment increase the recovery rate, on the other hand they may cause adverse symptoms on the child and family. Fatigue is one of them which affects negatively the quality of life of the children with cancer, therefore, it is important to evaluate its effect. Fatigue should be identified and evaluated quickly pre-treatment as well as during and after, while being controlled with a multidisciplinary approach and applying appropriate nursing care.

Özet

Pediatrik onkoloji alanında ortaya çıkan tıbbi gelişmeler sonucu, çocukluk çağı kanserleri akut ya da terminal bir hastalıktan çok, yaşamı tehdit eden kronik bir hastalık olarak görülmektedir. Ancak kanser tedavisinde kullanılan yöntemler iyileşme oranlarını artırırken diğer yandan da çocuk ve ailesinin üzerinde istenmeyen semptomlara neden olabilmektedir. Bu semptomlardan biri olan yorgunluk, kanserli çocukların yaşam kalitesi düzeyini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle kanserli çocuklarda yorgunluğun yaşam kalitesine olan etkisinin değerlendirilmesi önemlidir. Yorgunluk tedavi öncesinde, sırasında ve sonrasında olmak üzere hastalığın tüm aşamalarında hızlı bir şekilde tanımlanmalı, değerlendirilmeli, multidisipliner bir yaklaşımla kontrol altına alınmalı ve uygun hemşirelik bakımı uygulanmalıdır.
