PURPOSE: This observational study carried out to determine the incidence of poor nutritional status and symptom burden in children undergoing chemotherapy treatment. METHODS: The research data collected from 187 children between the ages of 7-18 at pediatric hematology-oncology units in Izmir. The data of the study collected with Screening Tool for Risk of impaired Nutritional Status and Growth (STRONGkids), and the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS). RESULTS: Patients reported a mean (SD) of 14.1 (8.1; range, 1-30) symptoms, and 43.9% were underweight. According to the STRONGkids, 62% had a high risk for malnutrition. The incidence of all symptoms increased as the Z-score of the patients worsens. There was a significant positive correlation between mean symptoms and STRONGkids malnutrition risk score, and Z-score (p < .001). CONCLUSION: Most of the patients were at high risk of malnutrition.
