Summary

This study evaluated the impact of an oral mucositis care protocol on the severity of mucositis.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

-What is the severity of mucositis in parents and children who receive oral mucositis education?

The data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Children's International Mucositis Evaluation Scale (ChIMES), and the WHO Oral Mucositis Grading Scale. Standard care was applied to the control group. For the intervention group, an oral care protocol was prepared, and the patients received training. The oral care intervention was applied for 14 days and monitored by the researcher. The patients were monitored for oral mucositis on Days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Those in the intervention group received a calendar for documenting their oral care practices.
