Arms

  • Arm: Pediatric oncology patients
    Pediatric oncology patients are children and adolescents aged 0-18 years who have been diagnosed with any malignancy (cancer) and are actively undergoing treatment. This patient group includes childhood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, bone tumors, and other solid tumors. Pediatric oncology patients are affected not only physically but also emotionally, cognitively, and socially due to the disease itself and the treatment methods applied (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery). In this process, fatigue stands out as a significant symptom that negatively affects children's participation in daily life activities, functional independence, and quality of life.
