Abstract

Children with cancer have one or more physical symptoms (low appetite, fatigue, and pain) and psychological symptoms (sadness and worry) related to the cancer or side effects of treatment which can affect their quality of life. Helping patients recognize both physical and psychological symptoms is important for developing mere effective treatment interventions. The aim of the research is to find out a description of the symptoms experienced by children with cancer in Jakarta. This research used a cross-sectional design with sample of 78 cancer children aged 7-18 years who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS) questionnaire and the data analysis used was univariate. The most common symptoms experienced by cancer children aged 7-12 years were changes in eating patterns (58.8%), nausea/vomiting (35.3%), pain (33.3%), difficulty sleeping (31.4%). fatigue (27.5%), feeling sad (25.5%). The most common symptom was a change in eating patterns (58.8%) with a very short frequency (43.3%) and a little disturbing (30%). The most common symptoms experienced by cancer children aged 13-18 years were pain (59.3%), hair loss (55.5%), lack of energy (51.9%), changes in skin (48.1%), lack of appetite (48.1%),sweating (44.4%) and feeling of being irritable (44.4%). The most common symptoms were pain (59.3%), with frequency sometimes (93.7%), moderate severity (37.5%) to severe (37.5%) and quite annoying (37.5%). This research shows that children with cancer in Jakarta experience various physical and psychological symptoms. Understanding related symptoms is very important to develop more appropriate and effective nursing interventions. Further research is needed to explore interventions that can reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life of children with cancer
