Abstract

Pain Buddy is a tablet-based program tailored towards children undergoing cancer treatment to assist managing their pain and symptoms. With the help of this program, we aim to understand the impact of children’s pain reporting and communication on parent’s self-reported stress levels, and how it is influenced by demographic factors.
