Summary

The aim of this study was to present the results of the effect of concealing chemotherapy drug serum with a picture box on children's anxiety, nausea and vomiting. The study was planned with children aged 5-10 years who met the inclusion criteria.

In this randomised controlled study, 70 children with cancer who are hospitalised in Marmara University Hospital and meet the inclusion criteria will be divided into two equal groups. The first group (intervention group) receives chemotherapy in chemotherapy boxes in which pictures made by the children are pasted before starting chemotherapy. In the second group (control group), children do not draw and chemotherapy boxes are not used. In both groups, the'' Child Anxiety Scale - State Anxiety Scale'' and the' Nausea - Vomiting Thermometer Scale in Children with Cancer'' will be used to assess children's state anxiety and nausea and vomiting. The scores given by the children will be noted by the researcher and the observer 5 minutes before the treatment and immediately after the end of the treatment in the scale scores section of the 'Child monitoring and evaluation form during chemotherapy'.
