Abstract

Background: Chemotherapy is a standard treatment for children with cancer, often accompanied by side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and hair loss. Parents require sufficient health education to manage their child’s treatment effectively. Previous methods lacked accessibility and engagement, which this study aims to address using digital technology. This study evaluates the impact of cancer treatment education using barcode scan media on the knowledge of parents with children undergoing chemotherapy at Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Method: This pre-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 40 parents was selected via simple random sampling based on the following inclusion criteria: parents of children with cancer who were receiving chemotherapy, in good health, had provided informed consent, and owned an Android phone to access the barcode scan media. The exclusion criteria included parents who were ill or had children with complications. The intervention involved cancer treatment education through a barcode scan method, with knowledge measured using a questionnaire. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, and SPSS software was used for statistical analysis.Results: Before the intervention, the mean knowledge score of parents was 7.65 (poor), which increased to 12.63 (good) after the intervention. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant increase in parental knowledge. Conclusion: The study concluded that cancer treatment education through barcode scan media significantly improves parental knowledge regarding chemotherapy, offering a modern, accessible, and effective tool for health education. This method enhances understanding and management of chemotherapy side effects, leading to better child care outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Hospitalization and medical procedures such as injections are common causes of anxiety and behavioral distress in preschool children. Non-pharmacological, atraumatic care such as distraction technique is an imperative to reverse such reactions. This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of glove puppets as a distraction method in reducing hospitalization-related behavioural responses in preschool children undergoing injection procedures. Methods: This quasi-experimental pretest–post-test non-equivalent control group study was conducted among 32 preschool children aged 3–6 years hospitalized at Dr. Ramelan Naval Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 16) and a control group (n = 16). Behavioural responses were assessed using a validated observational checklist before and after the injection procedure. Glove puppet distraction therapy was administered to the intervention group prior to the injection procedure. Data were analysed using the McNemar test to evaluate categorical changes and the Wilcoxon test to compare pre–post scores. Results: Before the intervention, 87.5% of children in the intervention group and 75% in the control group exhibited high levels of behavioural distress. After the intervention, the proportion of high distress in the intervention group decreased significantly to 25%, while no meaningful change occurred in the control group (81.3%). A significant reduction in distress was observed in the intervention group (p < 0.001; Cohen’s d = 1.56). Conclusion: Glove puppet distraction is a simple, cost-effective, and developmentally appropriate strategy that significantly reduces hospitalization-related behavioural distress among preschool children.
