Abstract

Aim and Background: Research shows that Play Therapy and game-based therapies are more effective and better for the psychological treatment of children with cancer. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of the cognitive intervention program and family-oriented Play Therapy on Depression and Anxiety of children with cancer. Methods and Materials: The study is a time series quasi-experimental design with multiple groups. The sample included 45 children between 7 and 10 years old with Brain Tumors selected from Mahak's Pediatric Cancer Hospital purposefully. After matching in terms of age and gender, the subjects were randomly replaced in 3 groups of 15 people (group 1: Cognitive Rehabilitation,group 2: Cognitive Rehabilitation with Play Therapy,group 3: control group). The pre-test, post-test and 1-month follow-up of the participants of all 3 groups were conducted with the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS). In order to analyze the data, split-plot ANOVA design (SPANOVA) was used. Findings: The results of the study indicated that both interventions had created significant changes in the variables of Depression and Anxiety in the experimental groups (significance level 0. 01). Depression and Anxiety in children of both experimental groups, especially in the Cognitive Rehabilitation group with Play Therapy, were reduced compared to the control group. In addition, although Cognitive Rehabilitation was effective in reducing Anxiety until the post-test stage, it did not have sufficient stability until the 1-month follow-up stage. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that rehabilitation and Play Therapy, especially rehabilitation with Play Therapy, which had a more stable effect, can be used to reduce Depression and Anxiety in children with various types of Brain Tumors.
