| Abstract | Context: Children and adolescents with cancer often face significant physical, emotional, and social challenges that negatively affect their quality of life. Supportive interventions, including psychosocial, educational, and recreational programs, may help improve well-being in this population. Objectives: This review study aims to examine the impact of supportive interventions on the quality of life of children and adolescents with cancer by synthesizing evidence from existing studies. Data Sources: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, and SID using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. Studies published in English from January 2000 to October 2025 were included. The search strategy was created using the PubMed keywords ("Children with cancer" OR "Adolescents with cancer") AND ("Quality of life" OR "Well-being") AND ("Supportive interventions" OR "Psychological support" OR "Social support") AND ("Pediatric oncology" OR "Cancer treatment"). Study Selection: The results of selected studies were combined to analyze the impact of supportive interventions on improving quality of life in children and adolescents with cancer. This process was carried out systematically to select and evaluate valid studies to achieve valid and scientific results in this area. Results: Supportive interventions, particularly psychosocial counseling, family-centered programs, and recreational therapies, were consistently associated with improvements in physical, emotional, and social domains of quality of life. Multi-component interventions demonstrated the most significant positive effects. Despite heterogeneity in study designs and outcome measures, evidence suggests that tailored support strategies can enhance overall well-being in pediatric oncology patients. Conclusions: Supportive interventions play a crucial role in improving the quality of life of children and adolescents with cancer. Further research using standardized outcome measures is recommended to strengthen the evidence base and guide clinical practice. | en |
