Official title
The Effect of Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique on Anxiety and Fatigue Among Children With Leukemia Undergoing Chemotherapy.
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique on anxiety and fatigue among children with leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. The main research hypotheses are; * Children with leukemia who receive Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique exhibit less anxiety than those who don't receive it. * Children with leukemia who receive Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique exhibit less fatigue than those who don't receive it. Researchers will compare Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique with standardized nursing care on a child's anxiety and fatigue.
Interventions
- Procedure Jacobson's PMRT
each child in the intervention group will perform five sessions of Jacobson's PMRT. Each session lasted for 15-20 minutes under the supervision of the researcher.
Primary outcome measures
- Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Multidimensional Fatigue Scale: [Time frame: before and after intervention.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Spence Children's Anxiety Scale - Child (SCAS-Child) [Time frame: before and after intervention.]
Eligibility criteria
