Knowledge and Perception on chemotherapy among parents of children undergoing chemotherapy in a cancer hospital, Guwahati, Assam.

Author(s) Ms. MIKEE BORGOHAIN
Country India
Abstract Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by abnormal cell proliferation. Childhood cancer is thought to have unknown causes. The most prevalent forms of the childhood disease are leukemia, lymphomas, malignancies of the brain and other central nervous systems, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, retinoblastoma, and bone cancer (including osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma). Chemotherapy is frequently administered in conjunction with other treatments, such as radiation therapy and surgery, although it might be the only course of treatment. Chemotherapy can be distressful to both the children and the parents as it can bring about various side effects. Being aware of possible side effects allows parents to monitor their child’s condition closely and seek prompt medical attention if necessary. Also, Understanding the treatment process helps parents set realistic expectations about the course of treatment and the potential outcomes. The purpose of the present study is to increase our understanding of parents' knowledge and perception that they are having regarding chemotherapy which will ultimately allow health workers to respond to their needs. It is very important to quickly identify and respond to the negative perception of families to minimize the negative effects of the stressor, allowing families to focus on patient care.
