treatments. The most frequently affected organs in this sytem are the pituitary and thyroid glands as well as the testes and ovaries. Complete or partial failure of these organs at high risk is imperative if early intervention is to be effective. In an effort to reduce the morbidity of these patients, the Pennsylvania Pediatric Oncology Network was developed to determine the rehabilitative needs of long-term survivors. This project includes five major tertiary care institutions in the State, offers care to children with cancer, and evaluates all long-term survivors in a systematic manner to determine their needs.

Toxicities of chemotherapeutic agents include myelosuppression, dose-related cardiotoxicity, renal toxicity, and local tissue damage following extravasation of certain drugs into the subcutaneous tissue. As the benefits from the chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer increases, attention needs to be given to the prevention and treatment of the associated side effects of these agents. Severe toxicity as a result of chemotherapy may delay needed therapy or even lead the patient to refuse future treatments.

The development of new knowledge, new technology, and drugs has contributed to improved treatment of children with cancer. It is now possible to speak of &dquo;cure&dquo; and survival in pediatric oncology with greater certainty than in the adult cancer population’. However, along with improved survival and quality of life come previously unrecognized complications arising from either the disease or its treatment.

ever, regardless of the source of the problem the proposal development process requires a thorough exploration of all completed research on the topic, a clear operationalization of the study variables, and the selection of a design that controls for extraneous variables and holds the potential for replication.2 Thus, in order for a reseach proposal to be sound it must be grounded in theory and hold the potential to serve as a basis for subsequent research. It is therefore important for the researcher to critically review the literature and then summarize the completed work in order to link the proposed research with the body of existing literature.

Radiation therapy is one of the four most common treatment modalities for cancer and is utilized in over fifty percent of all patients with cancer at some time during the course of the disease. In spite of its wide application, radiation therapy continues to be associated with a host of fears, misconceptions and misinformation regarding the treatment experience, side effects, potential for hazard to others, and even implications for prognosis. In any pediatric care setting the teaching process involves an assessment of the child’s developmental stage and cognitive abilities. Vocabulary, associations and comparisons, and the degree of detail will be determined by the individual child and parent in terms of readiness to learn, previous experience, coping style, educational level and expressed priorities for information. The educational needs of the child and family receiving radiation therapy are complicated by the challenge to explain an &dquo;invisible&dquo; phenomenon which involves complex technology. In most cases, this one-to-one teaching can be effectively enhanced by printed materials. The following annotated bibliography describes the educational resources currently available to assist in teaching the pediatric patient and family about radiation therapy.

Defining Research Methods Scientific research is a process used to systematically study given phenomena.11) The two major categories of research methodologies are qualitative and quantitative. Each methodology is used to answer different types of research questions. The purpose of this paper is to describe qualitative resarch: the purpose, common features, major data collection methods, data analysis, theory development, and evaluation methods. Qualitative research can be described as the systematic study of phenomena for the purpose of identifying, exploring or describing that phenomena. The results are summarized and presented anecdotally. They may also be presented in the form of mathe-
