Abstract

Cancer is a serious illness that experienced by children. In Indonesia, less than 30% of children cancers can be treated, due mostly to the parents' lack of awareness about care for child cancer patients, that includes therapy, medication, and nutritional therapy specifically for treatment of cancer. Father has responsibility in caring family’s health, including caring children with nutritional problem due to of illness. Objective: In this study, we reviewed literatures related to the father’s role and or father’s support in fulfilling children’s nutrition need during cancer treatment. Method: In this study, out of 1540 studies from the PubMed, Wiley, Science Direct, and Google Scholars, 7 articles included in the study analysis. The articles explored about fathers’ role and involvement in nutrition management with the children cancer patients (<18 yrs old) were included. Review, study reports, and articles related to the nutrition management in adult cancer patients have been excluded. Results: Majority articles showed a helpful connection between support and fathers' roles in children's nutrition to promote recovery and therapy development for pediatric cancer patients. Two themes emerged from the study; (1) Father’s Role in Recognizing the Nutrition Problems related to the Cancer (2) Father’s Support in Fulfilling Nutrition. Conclusion: Fathers' support for their children's cancer might improve their quality of life. The rigid relationship between children and fathers may also enhance children's appetite, increasing the chances of curing cancer in children.

Abstract

Pneumonia is an infectious disease that often affects toddlers due to low immunity, one of which is caused by poor nutrition, so their nutritional status is lacking. The lack of knowledge of mothers, aKnowledgemonia and the lack of proper dietary intake for toddlers can cause this. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and nutritional status and pneumonia incidence in toddlers at the Medika Utama Manggar Balikpapan Hospital. The research design was quantitative, using a correlation research type with a cross-sectional approach. The population of mothers and toddlers treated at the Medika Utama Manggar Balikpapan Hospital who were treated from October to December 2023 was 152 toddlers. The sampling technique was Purposive Sampling with the Slovin formula, which obtained 116 respondents. The data was analyzed using the Spearman Rank. The results obtained were a relationship between knowledKnowledgee incidence of pneumonia (p-value = 0.004) with a correlation of 0.266 (low relationship) and a positive relationship direction. In the nutritional status variable, there is a relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of pneumonia (p-value = 0.000) with a correlation of 0.354 (low relationship) and a positive relationship direction. It can be concluded that the incidence of pneumonia in toddlers can be caused by the lack of knowledge on how to treat pneumonia and the low nutritional status of toddlers. The recommended suggestion is that mothers increase their knowledge to fulfill children's nutrition needs according to their growth and development.
