Leukemia limfositik akut merupakan tipe leukemia yang paling banyak terjadi pada anak-anak yaitu sekitar75-80%. Kemajuan pengobatan kemoterapi pada pasien leukemia limfositik akut telah meningkatkan angkakeberhasilan hidup. Akan tetapi, lama kehidupan yang dapat dicapai oleh pasien belum diiringi dengan pencapaiankualitas hidup yang lebih baik akibat efek sekunder kemoterapi terhadap fisik dan psikososial pasien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup anak leukemia limfositik akut yang menjalani kemoterapi. Penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional dilakukan pada 25 anak secara consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scale dan peran perawat (Cronbach α = 0,90). Analisis data menggunakan korelasi Pearson dan uji t independen untuk mengetahui hubungan antar variabel serta regresi linear berganda untuk mengetahui faktor yang paling berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup generik. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat hubungan fase kemoterapi dan peran perawat dengan kualitas hidup generik(p<0,05). Peran perawat merupakan faktor prediktor kualitas hidup generic. Dengan demikian diperlukan upaya peningkatan peran perawat melalui pendidikan pelatihan terkait manajemen kemoterapi dan efek sampingnya.Kata kunci: Fase kemoterapi, kualitas hidup generik, peran perawat.Factors that are Related to Quality of Life of Children with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia who Undergo ChemotherapyAbstractAcute lymphocytic leukemia is a type of leukemia that is most prevalent among children which is around 75-80%.

Background The mobile health (mHealth) application encourages parents and pediatric patients to be involved in caring for their child's health condition by providing the ability to identify and manage chemotherapy-induced symptoms in their child actively. Several monitoring systems available today are diverse in terms of features and system basis. This study aimed to develop and trial the Chemo Assist for Children (CAC) mHealth application for symptom management due to chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods In this study, the development of the CAC application went through four phases. The initial phase was conducting a literature study for application content. The application design phase involved five experts to validate application content. In the implementation phase, the application was piloted on ten parents with ALL children undergoing chemotherapy at two teaching hospitals, Indonesia. At the evaluation stage, the CAC application was improved according to the test results. The data were obtained descriptively from the validation and application testing using the average and total item scores. Results Phase 1 obtained 17 reference sources in textbooks and research journal articles to design the mHealth application content. Phase 2 received the value of the content validity of all statements was 0.96, which means that the application material is declared valid. In phase 3, the average total usability test score was 4.28. Finally, an evaluation phase was applied continuously to produce a valid, accessible, and appropriate application for users. Conclusions The CAC mHealth application developed can meet the needs of technology users to identify symptoms and manage symptoms due to chemotherapy in children with ALL. The CAC mHealth application can accommodate data not recorded at out-of-hospital care, increase the independence of symptom management, and improve communication between parents of children with ALL and health workers.
