“…Despite this, adequate learning about prevention, self-care and adherence to healthy lifestyles have not been achieved as well as knowledge and management of speci c potential risks. This lack of awareness and "empowerment" of self-care has also been highlighted in other studies on childhood cancer survivors and may lead them to follow poor selfcare behaviors that can subsequently affect their future quality of life [20]. Therefore, a great challenge is being faced.…”

PurposeLate effects in childhood cancer survivors are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The objective was to establish knowledge about the disease, late effects, self-care practices, application of health knowledge/education, sources of information, and biopsychosocial impact of cancer, and compare the results of Chile and Croatia. Methodsone hundred and seventy-one, five-year survivors who were treated for leukemia or non-Hodgkins lymphoma responded to a questionnaire (119 in Chile and 52 in Croatia). The questionnaire was reviewed by BFM- ELTEC. Resultshealth knowledge about past diagnosis and general treatment had 96% Chilean and 85% Croatian survivors. Ninety percent of Chilean and 73% of Croatian survivors were unaware of possible late effects, and half did not know which specialist to visit for follow-up. Forty-six percent of Chilean and 35% of Croatian survivors knew about healthy lifestyles, but most did not practice them. The 74% of Chileans and 87% of Croatian survivors recalled having received health education during treatment. About 50% survivors in both groups was afraid or anguish, but it was also a growth experience for 60% of Chilean and 42% Croatian survivors. Eighty-seven percent Chilean and 77% Croatian survivors considered themselves physically independent, while 76% and 75% felt psychologically independent, respectively. ConclusionIt was detected a significant lack of knowledge about the specific treatment, late effects, and future health in both countries. They did not achieve significant learning with the education received. Psychological sequelae were found that are important to prevent.
