“…Various factors, such as an inability to attend school, undergoing chemotherapy, experiencing side effects of chemotherapy (vomiting, weakness, drug side effects), hair loss, long hospital stays, and an inability to spend time with friends, can affect the quality of life of these children. The hospital stays for children with cancer who receive inpatient treatment and their families may be lengthy, adversely impacting the child's quality of life as a result of treatment (Ceren & Durualp, 2021). Hospitalization, cures, symptoms of the disease, and cures can affect the quality of life of pediatric oncology patients.…”

Some interventions in pediatric oncology care for pediatric patients, such as art therapy and play therapy, ensure the physical and emotional well-being of patients. It also has the potential to improve quality of life during treatment and at the end of life. We aimed to determine the effect of clay therapy on the quality of life of pediatric oncology patients. This study was conducted with nine children (intervention group/clay therapy) inpatients in haematology units and nine children (comparison group). The “KINDL Quality of Life Scale” was used. The children participated for eight weeks in clay applications for two days a week. The post-test (69.66±15.70) of the KINDL Quality of Life Scale total mean score of the children in the intervention group was higher than the pre-test (57.00±10.54) (Z = 2.670; p = 0.008). There were no significant differences between the pre-test (74.66±5.97) and the post-test (74.55±6.94) of the quality of life of the children in the comparison group (Z = 0.005; p = 0.755). Clay therapy should be included in nursing care interventions to increase the quality of life for pediatric oncology patients. To increase quality of life, especially in pediatric oncology patients, it is suggested that environments be formed in hospitals where clay therapy can be applied. .
