Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Nurses can include the child in their occupational activities by using the therapeutic communication techniques they have learned during their education. However, there is no occupation-based nursing program that is routinely implemented for children in pediatric clinics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of occupation-based nursing program on increasing child satisfaction as well as reducing the symptoms of chemotherapy in pediatric oncology patients.
