Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Pediatric oncology patients experience physical and psycho-social symptoms that negatively affect their quality of life during treatment. "Yoga" practices, known as a unique physical activity that combines mind-body awareness and breathing exercises to improve the quality of life of pediatric oncology patients, have recently become popular. The study was conducted experimentally in the form of pre-test and post-test with 30 controls, 30 experimental group children who were treated in the Pediatric Oncology / Hematology service of a university hospital and their parents, in order to investigate the effect of children's yoga program on the quality of life of pediatric oncology patients. Ethics committee, institutional and parental consent was obtained. Data were collected using a questionnaire form and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory "PedsQL (4.0)". Participants filled out the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory "PedsQL (4.0)" Child and Parent Form before the 3-week (6 sessions) yoga program and salivary cortisol samples were taken from the children. These procedures were repeated after the yoga program. Anova test and "Paired sample t" test were used among statistical analysis methods. Statistical significance was accepted as p \<0.05.
