Details  1. Age between 4 years to ≤18 years, and willing to participate in the study.

2. Patients with a history of pathologically confirmed malignancies.

3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2.

4. Both the child and their guardian understand Hindi.

5. For inclusion in group 1, pretesting, or pilot testing: Pediatric cancer patients currently undergoing highly-emetogenic or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.

6. For inclusion in group 2, pretesting, or pilot testing: Pediatric cancer patients currently on treatment, but not having received chemotherapy within the past five days.

7. For inclusion in group 3: Cancer survivors, currently not on any form of therapy.
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Any physical or cognitive impairments that preclude the use of PeNAT, such as blindness or mental retardation.

2. Any history of CNS disease including brain metastasis, seizure disorder, developmental disorder, or psychosis

3. For patients in group 2, any patient having gastrointestinal ailments such as neutropenic colitis at the time of testing will be excluded.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. The test-retest reliability coefficient between the first and second paired PeNAT-Hindi scores in group 1

2. The mean difference between the PeNAT-Hindi scores in groups 1 and 2/3

3. The correlation coefficient between the PeNAT-Hindi nausea scores and the number of episodes of vomiting/ retching

4. The correlation coefficient between the children’s PeNAT-Hindi nausea scores and the numeric rating scale (NRS) scores for nausea as assessed by the parents
 

1. For patients in group 1, first and second PeNAT scoring will be done within 4-24 hours of chemotherapy, 1 hour apart. Just prior to the first PeNAT assessment, the parent or guardian will be asked to assess the severity of the patient’s nausea.

2. Number of episodes of vomiting or retching for 4 hours before the first test and between the two tests.

3. In groups 2 and 3, the children will be administered the PeNAT-Hindi instrument once at any time during a routine OPD visit. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The correlation coefficient between the children’s PeNAT-Hindi nausea scores and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) scores for pain as assessed by the parents.

 
At the time of the first PeNAT assessment within 4-24 hours of chemotherapy. 
The responsiveness of the PeNAT-Hindi tool to changes in the severity of nausea over time.  All patients in group 1 will continue to assess their nausea till 24 hours after the last dose of chemotherapy in their cycle. These scores will be compared with the initial scores for responsiveness testing.

Brief Summary   Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is one of the most common side-effects in patients of all ages treated with chemotherapy. Over the years, a few tools have been developed for the measurement of nausea in general in the pediatric population, as well as chemotherapy-induced nausea, but none have been validated in the Indian population. The primary objective of this study is the translation/ adaptation and validation of the pediatric nausea assessment (PeNAT) tool for use in the Hindi-speaking pediatric population in India. The PeNAT tool, developed by LL Dupuis, is available in the public domain and is free to use. Using the PeNAT involves three steps, the first of which is determining what word is used for nausea in each child’s family. Subsequently, the child is taught how to use the PeNAT tool and how to express the severity of their nausea by choosing an appropriate face from a choice of four faces used in the PeNAT scale. The PeNAT tool was validated on a population of children receiving chemotherapy and is hence of particular interest for use in research involving anti-emetic regimens in the pediatric cancer population. The PeNAT tool has already been translated/ validated in French and Spanish.
