Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to record the "Mukbang" watching behavior and appetite of children with cancer during inpatient radiotherapy and chemotherapy through intensive longitudinal study, explore their correlation, and the impact on their nutritional status and quality of life, and formulate for clinical departments relevant interventions and management options provide a theoretical basis.

Conditions

Mukbang

Keywords

Mukbang; Childhood cancer; Appetite; Malnutrition; Quality of Life; Intensive Longitudinal Study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Appetite

  The appetite will be assessed by Cancer Appetite and Symptom Questionnaire(CASQ) . The questionnaire consisted of 12 items, each item ranged from 0 to 4 points, and the total score of the questionnaire ranged from 0 to 48 points. The lower the total score, the worse the patient's appetite.

  Appetite change over 5 days during chemoradiotherapy from baseline

• Mukbang Watching Features

  The "Mukbang" watching features will be assessed by a questionnaire designed by the researcher and recorded by the subjects themselves, including watching time, watching rate, watching preferences and watching experience.

  Mukbang Watching Features change over 5 days during chemoradiotherapy from baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Nutritional status

  Change in nutritional status over 7 days from baseline

• Quality of Life in children with cancer

  Change in quality of life over 7 days from baseline

Questionnaires assessed children with cancer

Children with cancer who received at least one radiotherapy and chemotherapy during hospitalization

Other: Questionnaires set

Interventions

Questionnaires set OTHER

At baseline, the children's demographics, disease-related data, characteristics of "Mukbang"watching behavior, appetite, nutritional status, and quality of life data were collected. From the first day of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, 3 meals a day for 5 consecutive days were followed to track the children's appetite status and the characteristics of "Mukbang"watching behavior. Their nutritional status and quality of life were tracked at the end of treatment or when they were discharged from the hospital.

Questionnaires assessed children with cancer
