Two hundred and eighty-one (90%) parents
answered the second questionnaire, regarding
their child’s adherence behaviour. Approximately two
thirds of the children admitted to their third chemotherapy
treatment had received medical recommendations
upon discharge from the first or second chemotherapy
treatment (181/281, 64%). Sixty-eight percent
(123/181) of the parents who were given medical
recommendations reported that their child did not follow
the recommendations. Two main predictors were
found for non-adherence: child resistance (111/123,
90%) and inadequate information (100/123, 81%). In
the adherent group, 20% of the parents (n = 12/58)
reported trust in their child’s doctor while 14 percent
8/58 reported trust in the other health-care professionals.
Corresponding numbers for the non-adherent
group are 8/123 (7%) for both their child’s doctor and
other health-care professionals. Almost all of the parents
expressed a lack of optimism towards the treatment
(116/121, 96%), yet they reported an intention
to continue with the treatment for two main reasons,
for the sake of their child’s life (70%) (P = 0.005) and
worry that their child would die if they discontinued the
treatment (81%) (P < 0.0001).
