Cancer and its treatment are stressful and reduce the quality of life in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of massage therapy on pain and anxiety arising from intrathecal therapy or bone marrow aspiration in children with cancer. We conducted a controlled pretest/posttest quasi-experimental study at a paediatric oncology unit in Turkey. Twenty-five children were enrolled in this study. Their pain and anxiety were determined using a visual analogue scale. When the pretest and posttest pain and anxiety levels of the groups were compared, no statistically significant difference was found (P > 0.05). It was determined that pain and anxiety levels in the experimental group decreased significantly. This study provides preliminary evidence for the effectiveness in children of massage in reducing pain and anxiety arising from intrathecal therapy or bone marrow aspiration.
癌症及其治疗会给儿童带来压力，并降低他们的生活质量。本研究的目的是调查按摩疗法对癌症患儿鞘内治疗或骨髓穿刺引起的疼痛和焦虑的影响。我们在土耳其的一家儿科肿瘤病房进行了一项对照的前测/后测准实验研究。25名儿童参与了本研究。使用视觉模拟量表确定他们的疼痛和焦虑程度。比较两组的前测和后测疼痛及焦虑水平时，未发现统计学上的显著差异（P>0.05）。结果确定实验组的疼痛和焦虑水平显著降低。本研究为按摩疗法对减轻癌症患儿鞘内治疗或骨髓穿刺引起的疼痛和焦虑的有效性提供了初步证据。
