Children diagnosed with cancer exhibit various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and reduced appetite during chemotherapy, and this can lead to feelings of depression. The depression is accompanied by physical changes and physical weaknesses causing anxiety and frustration, and can even leave them feeling that life is without a goal and hope. The author observed a mother and daughter happily sewing hats and cloth, and noted that the child was relaxed compared with other children. Therefore, it is valuable to ascertain whether handicrafts affect the mood of children with cancer after chemotherapy and whether they can be clinically applied in transferring the children's focus and attention. Handicrafts may help them to relax and improve their mood, enabling them to face the pressure of treatment, reducing their discomfort, and thus improving their quality of life.
