Primary outcomes

1. Adapted Rhodes Index of Nausea and Vomiting for Pediatrics

   Time frame: Both children and their mother's assess children's frequency of the nause and vomiting twice a day, every 12 hours during one week from the first chemotherap' day to the seventh day.

   The instrument consists of a series of 5 statements (rated 0-4) for each of the 6 items representing the child's perceptions of the frequency of, duration of, and distress from nausea, and the frequency of, amount of, and distress from vomiting within the past 12 hours.

   The ARINV includes 6 items. The first 3 items on the scale question the frequency of, amount of, and distress from vomiting during the last 12 hours and the remaining 3 items question the frequency of, duration of, and distress from nausea. The possible minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from the nausea or vomiting part of the ARINV vary between 0 and 24 per day. The possible minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from the whole ARINV vary between 0 and 48 per day.

   The information form developed by the researchers includes the socio-demographic characteristics of parents and children; mother's age, father's age, parents 'education level, parents' employment status, number of children, child's age, gender, time of diagnosis of the child, disease stage of the child, types of treatment received, the number of cycles.
