| Summary: | Chemotherapy treatment in children is a process of curing cancer in children
which is carried out for a long time and can have side effects on children.
Chemotherapy and its side effects can cause children with cancer to experience
repeated hospitalization. Hospitalization is a crisis in children while undergoing
treatment at the hospital and occurs when children try to adapt to a foreign
environment, namely the hospital, so this condition becomes a stressor factor for
children. Therefore, efforts are needed to motivate them to develop effective
coping strategies for children to deal with hospitalization. Research is focused on
designing a product that can help the coping process in children when undergoing
chemotherapy. The research approach uses qualitative methods by observation,
interviews, and literature review aimed at pediatric patients in hospitals aged 4-6
years by analyzing the problems and needs of users during their chemotherapy
course. This research is expected to produce a product that can be used by
children to provide support to reduce the side effects that are felt when undergoing
chemotherapy. |
