Resumo: | Malnutrition has been very common in children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatments. It is a disease caused by a lack of nutrients, generating a deficit and causing a series of damages to the body, which can even lead to death if left untreated. Due to its adverse effects, nutrition, with nutritional therapy, has a very important role in maintaining and improving the nutritional status of these patients. The main objective of this study was to raise awareness about the incidence of malnutrition in cancer patients and the importance of nutritional therapy at that time. This was an observational, cross-sectional descriptive study. Data collection was carried out through the application of an online questionnaire with parents or guardians of children and/or adolescents aged 7 to 19 years, where information was obtained such as anthropometric data, type of treatment in progress and the symptoms presented. This information resulted in a prevalence of neoplasms in the male population, with a mean age of 12.5 years, patients, mostly undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There was considerable weight loss, in 92.9% of the research participants, due to the various gastrointestinal and oral symptoms presented and with this, the importance of nutritional therapy in this treatment was realized, in order to minimize the decline in the nutritional status of the patient. |

Es una enfermedad provocada por la falta de nutrientes, que genera un déficit y provoca una serie de daños en el organismo, que incluso pueden llegar a la muerte si no se tratan. Por sus efectos adversos, la nutrición, junto con la terapia nutricional, tiene un papel muy importante en el mantenimiento y mejora del estado nutricional de estos pacientes. El principal objetivo de este estudio fue concienciar sobre la incidencia de desnutrición en pacientes con cáncer y la importancia de la terapia nutricional en ese momento. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo transversal, observacional. La recogida de datos se realizó mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario online con padres o tutores de niños y / o adolescentes de 7 a 19 años, donde se obtuvo información como datos antropométricos, tipo de tratamiento en curso y los síntomas presentados. Esta información resultó en una prevalencia de neoplasias en la población masculina, con una edad media de 12,5 años, pacientes, en su mayoría sometidos a quimioterapia y radioterapia. Hubo una pérdida de peso considerable, en el 92,9% de los participantes de la investigación, debido a los diversos síntomas gastrointestinales y orales presentados y con ello, se tomó conciencia de la importancia de la terapia nutricional en este tratamiento, con el fin de minimizar el deterioro del estado nutricional de los pacientes.A desnutrição tem sido algo muito comum em crianças e adolescentes submetidos a tratamentos oncológicos. Trata-se de uma doença causada pela falta de nutrientes, gerando um déficit e ocasionando uma série de danos ao organismo, podendo até levar à morte caso não tratada. Devido aos seus efeitos adversos, a nutrição, com a terapia nutricional, possui um papel importantíssimo na manutenção e melhora do estado nutricional desses pacientes. O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal alertar a respeito da incidência da desnutrição em pacientes oncológicos e da importância da terapia nutricional nesse momento. Tratou-se de um estudo observacional, do tipo transversal descritivo. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio da aplicação de um questionário online com pais ou responsáveis de crianças e/ou adolescentes na faixa etária de 7 a 19 anos, onde foram obtidas informações como dados antropométricos, tipo de tratamento em realização e os sintomas apresentados. Essas informações resultaram em uma prevalência de neoplasias no público masculino, com média de idade de 12,5 anos, pacientes, em sua maioria, de quimioterapia e radioterapia. Houve perda de peso considerável, em 92,9% dos participantes da pesquisa, devido aos diversos sintomas gastrointestinais e orais apresentados e com isso, percebeu-se a importância da terapia nutricional nesse tratamento, com o intuito de minimizar o declínio no estado nutricional do paciente.Research, Society and Development2021-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2422910.33448/rsd-v10i16.24229Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 16; e481101624229Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 16; e481101624229Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 16; e4811016242292525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/24229/21134Copyright (c) 2021 Natália Pereira Ferreira; Jamila de Almada Pardo; Ana Lúcia Ribeiro Salomonhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Natália PereiraPardo, Jamila de Almada Salomon, Ana Lúcia Ribeiro 2021-12-20T11:03:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/24229Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:51.728482Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
