Abstract
|
|
|
|
Survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer often experience late effects and health problems resulting from cancer treatments. However, they may not be aware of the importance of health-promoting behaviors due to a lack of health-related knowledge. In this study, 4 weeks of group education on improving health-promoting behaviors among survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer were implemented with 10 participants in an experimental group and 10 participants in a comparison group using a pre?post experimental design. The experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in the level of cancer-related health knowledge; the comparison group showed no significant changes before and after the intervention. The experimental group participated in a focus group and reported that after group education, their self-awareness and health-promoting behavior improved. This study suggests the importance of group educational interventions in improving health-related knowledge and health-promoting behavior among survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer.
