ABSTRAKPenelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan
kualitas hidup anak leukemia limfositik akut yang menjalani kemoterapi di RSUP
Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional
dilakukan pada 25 anak secara consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data
menggunakan PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scale, PedsQLTM 3.0 Cancer Module,
dan peran perawat (Cronbach α = 0,90). Hasil menunjukkan terdapat hubungan
fase kemoterapi dan peran perawat dengan kualitas hidup generic dan cancer
module (p<0,05). Peran perawat merupakan faktor prediktor kualitas hidup
generic dan cancer module. Dengan demikian diperlukan upaya peningkatan
peran perawat melalui pendidikan pelatihan terkait manajemen kemoterapi dan
efek sampingnya.
ABSTRACTThis study was aimed to determine factors that associated with quality of life of
acute lymphoblastic leukemia children who undergoing chemotherapy in Dr. M.
Djamil Hospital Padang. The quantitative study with cross sectional approach was
done to 25 children by consecutive sampling. Data collection was using
PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scale, PedsQLTM 3.0 Cancer Module, and nurse?s
role (Cronbach α = 0,90). The results revealed that there was a relationship
between chemotherapy phase and nurse?s role with generic and cancer module
quality of life (p<0,05). Nurse?s role was a predominant factor of generic and
cancer module quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to increase role of nurse by
giving education about treatment and management of chemotherapy side effects.
