Summary

This study looks at whether doing creative arts like drawing, painting, or making sculptures can help children with cancer feel better and improve their quality of life. About 72 children aged 8 to 13 who were diagnosed with cancer in the past year will take part. Some will do art activities, while others will watch videos, so researchers can compare the effects on symptoms and well-being.
