Sponsor's own description
Children receiving chemotherapy often experience high levels of anxiety, which may also affect their parents. Anxiety during treatment can negatively influence emotional well-being, treatment adherence, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological and supportive interventions, such as recreational play activities, may help reduce anxiety in pediatric patients and their caregivers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of recreational play activities on anxiety levels of children undergoing chemotherapy and their parents. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design in a pediatric oncology setting. Children receiving chemotherapy and their parents participated in structured recreational play activities in addition to routine care. Anxiety levels of both children and parents were assessed before and after the intervention using validated anxiety assessment tools. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based nursing practices by highlighting the potential benefits of recreational play activities as a supportive intervention to reduce anxiety in pediatric oncology patients and their parents.
