Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Creative Arts Therapy (CAT) on pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy in the Infusion Center at Children's Hospital Colorado Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Findings from a previous pilot study support the hypothesis that CAT may improve quality of life (QOL), resiliency, physical posture, and emotional response to pain of pediatric oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy.
