- Abstract
Objective: to determine the relationship between the competence for home care and its dimensions with the presence of respiratory infections in minors with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and cancer treatment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional, the sample was made up of 75 dyads, the study population: minors diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia undergoing treatment with antineoplastic chemotherapy, systematic random probabilistic sampling was applied, the CUIDAR instrument was used. Results: the prevalence of respiratory infections was 4% for minors with caregivers with a high level of competence for home care, 12% for the medium level and 21.3% for the low level (p=.001), a r=-.439, p<.001, among the study variables, the Relationship and Interaction dimension showed a very significant moderate negative linear association (r=-0.492, p<0.01), and the Respiratory dimension statistically significant weak negative linear association (r=-0.253, p=0.02). Conclusions: the higher the competence for care, the lower the prevalence of respiratory infections, a statistically highly significant moderate linear association was found between the competence for home care and the presence of respiratory infection in children with leukemia and cancer treatment in the context of the pandemic. by COVID-19.
