Home Chemotherapy Intervention for Children With Cancer - a Feasibility Study

Parents to the included participants are offered to administer the protocolized low-dose bolus (injection) Cytarabine in their children's CVCs at home. The administration procedure is developed as a simple and safe non-touch technique. The parents receive a video and paper-based guideline and information material followed by a 3-step nurse-led education program. The parents can administer the Cytarabine at home when they (and the child/adolescent) feel safe and comfortable managing the procedure and when the nurses are sure that the parents can manage the procedure at home. The first dose of Cytarabine is always administered at the hospital.
