Usia sekolah merupakan tahapan usia pencapaian akan sesuatu (industry), saat anak senang beraktivitas, menyelesaikan tugas dan menjalin hubungan yang luas dengan teman sebaya dan lingkungannya. Namun, tugas perkembangan ini akan teganggu jika anak menderita penyakit keganasan yang harus menjalani kemoterapi.

Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, dan data yang dianalisis menggunakan metode Collaizi. Enam tema yang muncul adalah: (1) perubahan fisik sebagai efek negatif dari kemoterapi, (2) prestasi belajar menurun, (3) perasaan negatif akibat prosedur kemoterapi, (4) melakukan aktivitas tertentu selama kemoterapi, (5) pasrah dengan prosedur kemoterapi, dan (6) sembuh dari sakit. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya mempertahankan kegiatan belajar anak yang disesuaikan dengan kondisi mereka yang sedang menjalani kemoterapi.
