“…Refill taste strips contain high concentrations of sweet, sour, salty and bitter (4 containers× 25 strips). 21 A taste strip for the particular taste quality was placed onto the child's tongue, who was then asked to close his mouth for 15 seconds before removing the strip. The child was then asked to indicate the intensity of the experienced taste, thus providing an intensity score for each taste quality ranging from 0 "no taste," 1 = "mild," 2 = "moderate," 3 = "strong," to 4 = "extreme."…”

The purpose of the present study is to examine taste alteration in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing maintenance treatment. The population of the study was comprised of children with ALL between the ages of 7 and 18 who received maintenance treatment. The study sample was included 72 children (children with ALL:36 and healthy children: 36) determined by power analysis. This was a cross-sectional study. The children in both groups were applied to the taste test by the researcher. It was determined that there is a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between sweet (sucrose), salty (sodium chloride), sour (citric acid), and bitter (quinine hydrochloride) taste test score averages of the children with ALL and healthy children and that the 4 taste test score averages are lower in the experiment group. The taste alterations were determined in the present study for children with ALL undergoing maintenance treatment. Problems of children with cancer such as loss of appetite, negative attitude toward food or weight loss can be reduced or prevented when taste alteration is determined in children with cancer thereby improving the feeding of the children thereby increasing their quality of life.
