Abstract
The purpose of this study was to allow a leukemia patient to describe their health related quality of life (HRQoL) in their own words, in order psychologists could understand the impact that leukemia has on children. Four semistructured interview questions guide the interviews. Each question related to a domain identified in previous researches as having an effect on HRQoL. Areas explored were (a) physical well-being and symptoms, (b) psychological well-being, (c) social well-being, and (d) functional well-being Five themes were identified: (a) fatigue (b)the effect on activities (c) medication and treatment effects, (d)relationship changes, and (e) hair loss. In addition based on content analysis,the result showed that there is an interactive effect between the diseases and the level of QoL.The results reveal that the social, physical and emotional health and well-being of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is significantly poorer than their community-based peers.
