Summary

The effects of psychosocial support on the disease process have been studied with many different groups and diseases, and even the psychosocial support needed by the family of the child with a chronic disease has been the subject of research, but studies focusing directly on the needs of the child have been very limited. Although it is seen in the existing literature that studies such as art and play therapy or educational programs have been carried out to improve the attitudes of pediatric oncology patients towards their own diseases, no study has been found that investigated the effects of social/social support in pediatric oncology patients. In order to contribute to this limitation in the literature, this study aimed to examine the effects of community-provided psychosocial support videos on the attitudes and symptoms of pediatric oncology patients.

Community Supported Videos

Volunteers will be asked to create a maximum of three minutes of content that will psychosocially strengthen and motivate pediatric oncology patients. In the videos, information will be given about not using words such as cancer/oncology/tumor and not including private and personal information. Videos will be created in such a way that they can be edited, merged or deleted accordingly. The applications of volunteer individuals will be made through social media (Instagram), the collection of these videos will be followed in accordance with the voluntary consent forms, and the volunteers will be informed in detail about the use of visual and verbal data. Children will be sent videos featuring different volunteers each week. The content of the videos will be controlled by the child clinical psychologist and researchers. Inappropriate videos will not be included in the research.
