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%.
