Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

World Health Organization(WHO) data shows that the prevalence of malnutrition in children with cancer is as high as 75%, which leads to decreased immune function in children with cancer, unsatisfactory treatment effect, increased adverse clinical outcomes, early tumor recurrence, prolonged recovery time, and death. risk factors such as increased rates. The "Global Childhood Oncology Initiative" proposed by WHO in 2020 pointed out that reducing hunger and malnutrition and improving the outcomes of children with cancer are one of the main tasks of providing best practices in pediatric oncology care.

The excessive consumption of the body caused by the cachexia of the tumor itself cannot be changed. Nutritional intake is the only adjustable factor for malnutrition in children with tumors. Loss of appetite is the main reason for insufficient nutritional intake. Numerous clinical studies have explored the nutritional management of children with cancer. However, most nutritional interventions are ineffective due to poor appetite and food intake in children.

The investigation in the clinical ward found that in order to cope with the problem of loss of appetite, many children with cancer took the initiative to watch "Mukbang" during hospitalization to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms and increase appetite. At present, studies have shown that "Mukbang" may have the potential to improve the appetite of children with tumors. In addition, watching "Mukbang" is a way that children actively choose to increase their appetite, which has better acceptability.

Intensive longitudinal study can explain the dynamic changes of children's behavior and appetite when watching "Mukbang" videos by sampling in a natural context for a short period of time and multiple times, and based on real-time data, further Explain in detail the persistent effect of watching "Mukbang" video behaviors on appetite.

Questionnaires assessed children with cancer

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

Questionnaires set

Intervention Type 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.
