Examination of Fatigue, Well-Being and Life Habits in Children with Cancer Diagnosis

Öz:

Objective: In this study, it was planned to examine fatigue, wellbeing and life habits in children with cancer. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted between September 2019-January 2020. “24-Hour Child Fatigue Scale”, “Child Well-being Assessment” and Child Life Habit Questionnaire (LIFE-H for Children 1.0)” were administered to 20 children with cancer aged 5-15 years. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the statistical relationship between life habits, fatigue and well-being. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Results: There were significant relationships between fatigue and personal care, shelter and mobility parameters of life habits (r=-0.66, r=0.54, r=0.45, p<0.01, respectively) and there were significant relationships between fatigue and negative emotions (r=0.46), overall life satisfaction (r=-0.52), general happiness (r=- 0.49) and positive emotions (r=-0.44 *) parameters of well-being assessment. Life habits scale was found to be related with nutrition, physical fitness and communication parameters of Child Life Habit Questionnaire were found to be most related with the meaning and purpose parameter of the well-being assessment (p<0.01). There were significant relationships between positive emotions and recreation (r=0.45, p=0.04); optimism and communication (r=-0.44, p=0.04); personal care (r=-0.49, p=0, 02), social life (r=-0.46, p=0.04) and autonomy; and mobility and negative emotions (r=-0.45, p=0.04).Conclusion: Considering the relationships determined in this study, the evaluation of the children with cancer and treatment approaches can be shaped. The fact that fatigue affects all aspects of children’s life reveals the importance of dealing with fatigue. It is recommended to focus on the meaning and purpose and regain autonomy for children in order to rearrange the life habits of the children and ensure their well-being.

Kanser Tanısı Almış Çocuklarda Yorgunluk, İyilik Hali ve Yaşam Alışkanlıklarının İncelenmesi

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kanser tanısı almış çocuklarda yorgunluk, iyilik hali ve yaşam alışkanlıklarının incelenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Kesitsel analitik tipteki bu çalışma, Eylül 2019- Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Yaş aralığı 5-15 yıl olan kanser tanısı almış 20 çocuğa “24 Saatlik Çocuk Yorgunluk Ölçeği”, “Çocuklarda İyilik Hali Değerlendirmesi” ve Çocuk Yaşam Alışkanlığı Anketi (LİFE-H for Children 1.0)” uygulandı. Yaşam alışkanlıkları, yorgunluk ve iyilik hali arasında istatistiksel olarak ilişkiyi belirlemek için Pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Yorgunluk ile yaşam alışkanlıkları parametrelerinden kişisel bakım, barınma ve mobilite arasında (sırasıyla; r=-0,66, r=0,54, r=0,45; p<0,01) ve iyilik hali değerlendirmesinin negatif duygular (r=0,46), genel yaşam doyumu (r=-0,52), genel mutluluk (r=-0,49) ve pozitif duygular (r=-0,44) arasında anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Çocuk Yaşam Alışkanlığı Anketindeki beslenme, fiziksel uygunluk ve iletişim parametreleri ile en fazla iyilik halinin anlam ve amaç parametresi arasında ilişkili bulundu (p<0,01). Rekreasyon ile pozitif duygular (r=0,45, p=0,04), iletişim ile iyimserlik (r=-0,44, p=0,04), kişisel bakım (r=-0,49, p=0,02) ve toplumsal yaşam (r=- 0,46, p=0,04) ile otonomi arasında, mobilite ile negatif duygular (r=-0,45, p=0,04) arasında anlamlı ilişki görüldü. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada tespit edilen ilişkiler dikkate alınarak kanser tanılı çocukların değerlendirmesi ve tedavi yaklaşımlarışekillendirilebilir. Yorgunluğun, çocukların yaşamının bütün boyutlarını etkilemesi yorgunlukla başa çıkmanın önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Çocukların yaşam alışkanlıklarının yeniden düzenlenebilmesi ve iyilik halinin sağlanması için anlam ve amaç üzerine odaklanmak ve çocuklara otonomi kazandırmak önerilmektedir.
