An interventional study of Range Of Motion applied group in Children With Cancer, sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 12 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-09-19.
Sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
This experimental study aims to examine the effects of ROM (Range of Motion) exercises on comfort level and vital signs in children diagnosed with cancer.
The sample of the study consisted of a total of 60 oncology patient children, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group, between the ages of 6-12, who were hospitalized in the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and Pediatric Hematology Oncology Service of a state hospital. The data of the study were collected with the "Data Collection Form", "Life Findings Table" and "Comfort Scale in Children". Range of motion exercise applications continued once a day for 5 days a week for approximately 20 minutes. Fever, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, pain and comfort levels of the children were measured before and after the exercise. In the study, it was investigated whether Range of motion exercises have an effect on vital signs and comfort levels of children with cancer.
Istanbul Medipol University Hospital is the lead sponsor of 350 studies on the registry; 58 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Children with cancer were given Range Of Motion exercises once a day for 5 days for approximately 20 minutes.
Other: Range Of Motion applied group
Children with cancer in this group received no intervention.
Range Of Motion was applied once a day for approximately 20 minutes for 5 days.
Body temperature
For 5 days, children's body temperature was taken 2 times before and after 20 minutes of Range Of Motion.
Time frame: For 5 days/ 2 times a day/ before and after a 20 minute range of motion.
Pulse
For 5 days, children's pulse was taken 2 times before and after 20 minutes of Range Of Motion.
Time frame: For 5 days/ 2 times a day/ before and after a 20 minute range of motion.
Respiration
For 5 days, children's Respiration was taken 2 times before and after 20 minutes of Range Of Motion.
Time frame: For 5 days/ 2 times a day/ before and after a 20 minute range of motion.
Blood pressure
For 5 days, children's systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure was taken 2 times before and after 20 minutes of Range Of Motion.
Time frame: For 5 days/ 2 times a day/ before and after a 20 minute range of motion.
Comfort
For 5 days, children's comfort level was taken 2 times before and after 20 minutes of Range Of Motion. Pediatric Comfort Assessment Scale was used for measurement. It evaluates 5 parameters: sounds, motor movements, performance, facial expressions and other. Each item is evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4 (0/Not Available, 1/No, 2/Somewhat, 3/Moderate, 4/Strong) from bad to good. Higher scores indicate a higher level of comfort.
Time frame: For 5 days/ 2 times a day/ before and after a 20 minute range of motion.
