    Introduction Even in the absence of a pandemic, pediatric oncology patients have decreased immunological levels. This condition requires families to monitor their children’s risk of infection on a frequent basis. The possibility of being exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a hospital or community environment has created significant concern among cancer families. Objectives This study sought to ascertain the quality of life of parents who sought treatment for their children at a pediatric oncology clinic during the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the factors that influenced it. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study included 62 parents with children ages 0 to 19 who receive treatment for their children at the pediatric oncology clinic of an application and research center in Turkey’s Western Black Sea area. “The Participant Information Form” and “The Scale of Quality of Life-Family Version (QOL-FV)” were used to collect data. The researchers used the face-to-face interview approach to obtain data. To investigate the differences in scale levels based on the descriptive characteristics of the parents, one-way analysis of variance, t-test, and post hoc (Tukey, least significant difference) analyses were used. Results The total mean score of the parents’ QOL-FV was found to be 148.097 25.843 (87–258). In the study, it was determined that financial difficulties, difficulties in accessing the hospital during the treatment process, and changes in daily activity/behavior had negative effects on parents’ quality of life. Conclusion Most of the parents who participated in our study stated that their quality of life got worse with the pandemic. It was determined that the COVID-19 pandemic had effects on the quality of life of parents of pediatric oncology patients in various ways.

    Internet addiction and stressors causing internet addiction in primary school children during the Covid-19 pandemic: a descriptive and cross-sectional study from Turkey
    (Yeşilay, 2021) Aközlü, Zeynep; Kolukısa, Tuğçe; Öztürk Şahin, Özlem; Topan, Aysel
    In this study, we aimed to examine the status of internet addiction in children and the stress factors causing it during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study was a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study sample included 154 parents of 7- to 10-year-old students. Participant information form and the Family-Child Internet Addiction Scale were used as data collection tools. The data of the study were collected with a questionnaire (via Google Forms) between July 15 and December 15, 2020. Of the children participating in the study, 90.3% (n=139) showed no symptoms and 9.7% (n=15) showed limited symptoms in terms of internet addiction. The total mean score that the children obtained from the scale was found to be 24.6±16.9. It was observed that the frequency of a child playing games with parents, the parents watching news about COVID-19 with the child, and the child being frequently warned about the COVID-19 precautions increased the children’s internet addiction scores (p<0.05). This study demonstrated that if the pandemic process was prolonged, internet addiction in children could be further triggered.

    (2022) Öztürk Şahin, Özlem; Taşdelen, Yeliz; Aközlü, Zeynep; Uçar, Beyza; Topan, Aysel
    Objective: The study aimed to examine the practices of mothers regarding the use of supplements, herbs-spices and child nutrition during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic lockdown in a sample of Turkish mothers. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional was study conducted in Karabük province of Türkiye. Five hundred and sixty five mothers with children aged 2-18 participated in the study. For data collection, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the foods consumed by children and the practices of mothers on child nutrition. Descriptive statistical methods, and the chi-square test for differences between groups in terms of categorical variables was used. Results: Eighty-nine percent of mothers had used at least one product to protect their children from COVID-19. While the use of supplements by the mothers was 62%, the use of herbs and spices was 74%. A significant difference was found between the type of product used by the mothers and the state of mothers’ being informed about the use of any product (Psupplement<0.001; Pherbs-spices< 0.001). Conclusion: Especially the mothers who resorted to these products used them without getting any information. In order for parents to access evidence-based information on child nutrition, training given by health professionals in a virtual learning environment is important for mothers to learn proper nutrition practices.
