“…The implementation of preventive oral hygiene measures prior to cancer therapy is critical for controlling treatment‐induced acute or late adverse effects 29 . Educational programs can effectively instruct patients and their caregivers on how to properly perform oral hygiene before and after the completion of cancer therapy 30 .

ObjectivesTo assess the impact of an oral health education and preventive program (OHEPP) for pediatric cancer patients.MethodsThis was a single‐arm study with 27 children and adolescents undergoing antineoplastic treatments. Patients were followed up for 10 weeks, and their oral health conditions were evaluated using the Modified Gingival Index (MGI), Visible Plaque Index (VPI), and the modified Oral Assessment Guide (OAG). Audiovisual resources, storytelling, and ludic instruments were used to provide oral health education to patients and parents/caregivers.ResultsThe patients’ mean age was 9.41 (±4.49) years, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the most prevalent diagnosis (22.2%). Mean MGI and VPI values were 0.82 (±0.59) and 54.11% (±19.92%) at baseline and 0.33 (±0.29) and 19.83% (± 11.47%) after 10 weeks, respectively (p < .05). The mean OAG score was 9.51 (±2.54) and 36 cases (19.8%) of severe oral mucositis (SOM) were documented. Patients with higher MGI were more likely to develop SOM.ConclusionThe OHEPP had a positive impact on pediatric patients undergoing cancer therapy by improving their periodontal health, reducing biofilm accumulation, and preventing the development of OM lesions.

Background Cancer has an impact not only on children but also on parents. Parents play the most crucial role in cancer’s symptom control and management. However, as the primary caretakers, parents are frequently unprepared or engage in inappropriate behavior when caring for their children. Increasing parents’ role through empowerment is critical in pediatric cancer care. Purpose This systematic review aimed to identify the effect of empowerment interventions on parent and child outcomes in pediatric oncology. Methods In this review, studies published between 2013 and 2023 in The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Scopus databases were identified using a search strategy to identify relevant studies that determined empowerment-based intervention for parents in the pediatric oncology. This study used the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools to assess the quality of the studies. This systematic review followed the recommended reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) standards. Results Seven studies met the inclusion criteria: four randomized and three non-randomized experimental studies. Children range in age from 1–14 years. The intervention is mostly delivered through face-to-face learning using booklets or modules as a learning tool. The intervention is delivered in 2–6 sessions over 1–8 weeks, lasting 20–45 minutes each. In most studies, the interventions positively affect parents’ outcomes (knowledge, caring behavior, distress, care burden, quality of life) and children’s outcomes (oral mucositis, gastrointestinal complications, quality of life). The intervention, however, has no significant effect on the coping style. Barriers to implementation include parent-nurse commitment, the retention of parent-nurse participation, and more time spent to provide interventions. Conclusion Our study highlights that empowerment-based interventions positively impact parents and children. These findings suggest that an empowerment-based intervention should be developed to provide better cancer care for a parent and their children. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO registration number was CRD42023422834.

Chemotherapy in chilhood cancer increases the toxic effects that impact the child's oral health. Appropriate oral care is the main intervention in children receiving chemotherapy. Oral care can reduce the colonization of oral cavity microorganisms, reduce pain, and prevent oral soft tissue infections that are at risk of becoming systemic infections. Children need parents to maintain oral health. This study aims to determine the oral care behavior of parents and the oral health profile of children who receive chemotherapy. The research design used a quantitative descriptive method. The sample in this study were parents and children with cancer who received chemotherapy. The results showed that the oral care behavior of most parents was in the less category, namely 76%. The oral health profile of children with cancer who received chemotherapy based on Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) was mostly in the unhealthy category, which was 52%. Nurses need to provide health education about oral health care to children and parents and provide written guidelines regarding appropriate oral care protocols. Future research is expected to be able to develop research on appropriate educational methods to improve parental behavior or oral care practices in children with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy Keyword: oral care practices oral health profile chilhood cancerThis open access article is under the CC-BY-SA license.
