Abstract

Introduction:

Children with cancer experience distressing and severe symptoms, yet routine monitoring in young people is rare. As a result, symptoms are often undertreated. High symptom burden is associated with increased hospitalisation, lower quality-of-life, poor treatment adherence and long term problems including post-traumatic stress disorder. As part of a larger project that aims to empower and engage children using digital health solutions, the objective of this study was to explore the congruence of symptom burden identified by healthcare providers with child self-report.
