Abstract
Advances in medical research have resulted in increased survival of children with chronic conditions, specifically pediatric oncology and cystic fibrosis (CF). HRQoL is a multidimensional construct that encompasses physical functioning and symptoms, functional status, psychological functioning, and social functioning (Ware, 1984). This study aims to explore the impact that Wii gaming has on a child's HRQoL for hospitalized patients.
