ReviewUtilizing Digital Tools for Self-Report Symptom Assessment and Management in Pediatric Oncology: A Systematic Review.
The evaluation of digital tools for measuring self-reported symptoms in children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment is a critical area of research with significant implications for clinical practice and patient outcomes. ⋯ It shows that studies have generally focused on developing digital tools to address pain, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms commonly experienced by pediatric oncology patients. While the quality of the included studies ranged from low to high, the overall findings show promise for the effectiveness and usability of these digital tools for symptom assessment and management in pediatric oncology care.
